🌑 New Moon Prep: The 3-Hour Simulation 🏃♂️Feeling a bit daunted by the New Moon Ultra format? The best way to beat the nerves is to practice the process! Join us for a hands-on Backyard Ultra simulation designed to get you "race ready" in a low-pressure, supportive environment.
We’ll be tackling 6km on the hour, every hour, for 3 hours straight (we’ll save those extra 700 meters for the official 6.7km loops on race day)!
What we are testing:
🏃♂️The Night Gear: Dial in your headlamp settings and find your "night eyes" before it counts.
🏃♂️The Gut: Practice your nutrition and hydration strategy during the 10-20 minute "rest" windows.
🏃♂️The Restart: Master the mental hurdle of backing up for multiple laps when your legs want to stop.
🏃♂️The Pace: Learn the fine art of pacing vs. rest - finding that "sweet spot" speed that leaves you enough time to recover.
🏃♂️Mental Grit: Build the resilience needed to answer the bell every hour.
The Details:
📍 Where: Meet in the Gardens (opposite Jackson Street) at the well-known parkrun start line.
⏰ When: Meeting at 4.45pm
💰 Cost: Entry is by donation, with all proceeds going to Harry.
Whether you’re aiming for 1 loop or all 12 on race day, this is the perfect chance to troubleshoot your setup and meet your fellow night-runners.
Are you ready to answer the bell?
