Introducing the 𝕋ℍ𝔼 𝕊𝕌𝔾𝔸ℝ ℂ𝔸ℕ𝔼 ℂ𝕌𝕋BACK YARD ULTRA MEETS BEEP TEST - 1.6KM PAVED LOOP
On the smooth, fast footpaths of Mackay's iconic Queens Park, we test our endurance as the time cut-off squeezes down lap by lap…
We endure the burn because we have the freedom to choose; those living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) do not get that choice.
How far can you go before you get cut? Set on a fast 1.6km loop, this high-energy elimination race tests your speed, stamina, and race strategy against an ever-shrinking clock.
HOW IT WORKS
The Mass Start: Limited to only 150 runners, every runner toes the line together at the start of each lap.
The Progressive Pace: Lap 1 kicks off with a leisurely, warm-up pace and a generous cut-off time. With every lap you survive, the allowed time drops and the required pace sharpens.
Beat the Clock: Finish the 1.6km loop inside the lap time to earn your rest window and secure a spot on the next start line.
The Cut: If the clock strikes zero before you cross the line, your race ends right there. Your official result is the total number of complete laps finished before getting cut.
RUN YOUR OWN RACE
Whether you are a parkrunner testing your 5k legs or an elite endurance runner chasing maximum mileage, you choose your own challenge:
The Fun Runners: Knock out 2 to 4 laps for a social, punchy morning workout.
The Mid-Pack Grinders: Push your aerobic threshold through 10 to 15 laps.
The Ultra Contenders: Hold your nerve as the cut-offs squeeze down to flat-out race pace, battling through 40km, 50km, or beyond.
PRIZES & GLORY
Last Standing: The final male and female runner to survive the cut-offs take the overall win - $500 each. Juniors - $200 each.
Intermittent Giveaways: Spot prizes, milestone rewards and prime sprint bonuses awarded throughout the event.
Supporting MND - every entry is $10 direct to MND.
