Carousel Backyard Ultra

• Event Format: The Alexander Airport Carousel Backyard Ultra is a last one standing event. Participants must complete a lap within each hour to continue. The event concludes when only one runner can complete a lap more than the others.

• Course Description: The race loop covers a mix of single and 4WD tracks around Alexandra Airport. Each lap features approximately 50 meters of elevation. The terrain includes hard-packed trails and sections through pine forests, offering views of the surrounding mountains.

• Self-Support: Runners need to bring their own support gear, including a gazebo, chair, and sufficient food and water, as the event is self-supported.

• Charity Contribution: A part of the race entry fee is donated to I Am Hope and Bowel Cancer New Zealand, supporting their efforts in youth mental health and bowel cancer advocacy.
