The Riverhead Backyard ReLaps Ultra is an endurance event scheduled for 29 March 2025. Runners will participate in a unique “last one standing” format, where they complete a lap per hour until only one runner remains – the sole finisher and declared winner.

The race is held in Riverhead Forest, taking runners through a diverse landscape of commercial pine forest. Each lap features an elevation of approximately 90m, adding an extra layer of challenge to the race.

In the 2024 edition, Stuart Lynch emerged as the victor after completing a remarkable 43 laps.

To understand the unique format and rules of the Backyard Ultra, prospective participants can visit the event website for more detailed information.

The event is overseen by Lactic Turkey Events, a well-known organiser in the running community.
