This event marks the region’s inaugural Last One Standing format, where participants navigate a 6.71km loop each hour until only one runner remains.

The course features picturesque trails alongside Lake McLaren, offering scenic views of waterfalls and native bush. Nighttime runners may also encounter glowworms, adding a unique element to the experience. With an elevation gain of under 100m, the terrain presents both physical and mental challenges in a striking natural environment.

As a self-supported event, runners are required to bring their own food, hydration, and gear for comfort and sustenance throughout the race. This format caters to a diverse range of abilities, from seasoned ultra-runners to those looking to complete a few laps. Given the unique structure and natural beauty of the location, the Rockys Backyard Ultra provides an engaging experience for participants. Spaces for the event are limited.
