• Event Format: The Best Dam Backyard Ultra features a unique “last one standing” format where runners must complete a set course within one hour and repeat this process every hour until only one runner is able to complete a lap.

• Course Details: The race is held on well-marked trails that boast minimal elevation gain, making it accessible yet challenging. Runners will enjoy scenic views of the surrounding wetlands, Lake Aviemore, and mountains.

• Historical Significance: The course is notable as it was used by the New Zealand team during the 2024 World Team Championship.

• Rules: Participants are encouraged to review the official Backyard Ultra rules on the event’s website to ensure compliance and understanding of the race mechanics.

• Organizer: The event is managed by Inch Events, known for their experience in handling endurance race events.
