Welcome to the Cobb & Co Backyard Ultra, set at the historic Nine Mile Camping Grounds, Tandur.
Starting at 6:00am, runners take on the classic Backyard Ultra format , a 6.7km loop, every hour, on the hour. Finish the loop within the hour and you go again. Miss the start and you’re out. Simple format, serious challenge.
Set entirely within the campground, the course keeps runners, crew and spectators close to the action. Bring your tent, caravan, or book a cabin and settle in, this is as much about the experience as it is the distance. Camping and accommodation are booked directly with Cobb & Co.
Each lap is a reset. No finish line until there’s only one runner left.
Three challenges define the day:
Beat the clock — complete each loop within the hour.
Be ready to go again — every hour, on the hour.
Make the call — step out and call it quits, or step back in for another loop.
There’s only one winner.
