Pigs Backyard Ultra

“just one more loop ok?”

A Backyard Ultra is a form of running event where competitors try to consecutively run a loop measuring 6.7km in less than one hour.  Each competitor chooses how quickly they run the loop (known as a yard) and when each yard is completed, the remaining time within the hour is typically used to recover before the next yard starts on the hour.

Competitors complete as many yards as they can and the winner is the last person to complete a lap within the allocated hour.

Pigs Backyard Ultra are run in the wonderful natural beauty of Silverstream reserve, Dunedin. The loop includes a trail beside a water race, a bit of mud, a few stream crossings, loads of native NZ bush and occasionally some wild pigs.

Funds raised will go towards Otago Youth Wellness Trust supporting young people with multiple needs to live and participate fully in their community
