The Scenic Circles Backyard Ultra is scheduled for 6 September 2025 at Centennial Reserve, Timaru. This unique event follows a “last one standing” format. Participants must complete an hourly loop, re-entering the starting corral in time for each hourly bell. The competition continues until only one runner remains, marking them as the winner.
The format of the Backyard Ultra demands self-sufficiency from participants. They are responsible for their own food and hydration, as there are no aid stations provided during the event.
