Sandy Point Backyard Ultra

• The Sandy Point Backyard Ultra features a demanding last one standing format where participants must complete a set lap within an hour and continue to do so each hour until they are the last runner standing.
• The course consists of undulating, cross-country terrain, adding a challenging aspect to the race. Runners can enjoy the natural ambiance, including the sound of waves from nearby Oreti Beach.
• Each lap provides a recovery period, where the time left after completing the lap within the hour can be used for rest and replenishment before the next hour’s run commences.
• This race format tests not only physical stamina but also mental endurance, as competitors must manage pacing and recovery strategically to outlast their peers.
