Cobb and Co Backyard Ultra
About the race
Welcome to the Cobb & Co Backyard Ultra, set at the historic Nine Mile Camping Grounds, Tandur.
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, as this is as much about the experience as it is the distance.
Each lap is a reset. There is no finish line until only one runner is left. There is only one winner.
Camping and accommodation
Camping and accommodation are booked directly with Cobb & Co.
The course
Runners start at 6:00am and take on the classic Backyard Ultra format, with a loop every hour, on the hour. Finishing a loop within the hour means you go again. Missing the start means you are out. There is no finish line until only one runner is left.
