Introducing...
The Awa Backyard Ultra and Backyard 6.
Saturday 26 September 2026 - That Place MTB Park, Kaiwhaiki Road, Whanganui.
A new format for 2026. A 6.7km loop. A new lap on the hour, every hour until there is one runner remaining. How long will we run for? Welcome to The Awa Backyard Ultra - the ultimate test of physical and mental endurance.
If that sounds a bit too much. The Awa Backyard 6 offers up the same course and format, but for "only" 6 hours. A great introduction to the world of Backyards with the extreme suffering of the main event. Challenge yourself to 2 or 3 laps or try for the whole 6.
Entries open on Monday (1 December) at 9am.
