The Hybrid 24 Backyard Ultra | Spectator Registration
24 hours of running, food, drinks, music and plenty happening off the course.
On December 5–6, we're taking over Stromlo Forest Park for the first Hybrid 24 Backyard Ultra.
The concept is simple. Runners complete a 6.7km loop every hour, on the hour, for up to 24 hours. Some will run a few laps, others will be chasing the full 24. Either way, it's going to be a pretty big weekend.
And you don't have to be running to get involved!
Food, drinks & entertainment
We're bringing together a great lineup of local food and drink vendors, with plenty of options throughout the weekend.
Here's who's joining us:
Alongside the food and drinks, there'll be music, brand activations and plenty happening around the start/finish area.
Whether you're coming down for lunch, an afternoon beer, a morning coffee or to cheer on a mate, there'll be plenty to keep you entertained.
Free entry + spectator giveaway
The event is completely free for spectators, but we'd love you to register so we can get an idea of numbers.
As a bonus, everyone who registers will go into the draw to win a prize pack featuring products from:
