REFUNDS AND TRANSFERS
Refunds are no longer available for Ultra Series Backyard and Frontyard events. Transfers are permitted but are subject to terms set out in the Race Manual.
We will have a dedicated Herdy's Frontyard Ultra Buy/Swap/Sell Page on Facebook. Inevitably, some entrants will not be able to participate, for a variety of reasons, and the opportunity to buy/swap/sell entries will be made live for runners to arrange between themselves on our registration platform.
QUALIFICATION
Herdy’s Frontyard doesn’t have any qualification requirements, however please do not take the fatigue and conditions for granted. It is expected that you will train appropriately for the event you are entered into.
AID STATIONS
There will be a full service, manned aid station at the transition area, near the start line for every lap up to 24 hours.
Please BYO Cup or Hydration Vessel if you wish to utilise drinks from the aid station.
Runners are also able to set-up their own table with their own supplies in the designated areas.
The aid station will provide the following:
WATER
BIX HYDRATION
COKE
CRISPS
LOLLIES
FOOD: An assortment of sweet & savoury slices, and hot soup throughout the first night and into the cool morning.
MANDATORY GEAR
Just a few items for you to bring to embrace this format.
ROLL OF LOO PAPER: It’s not only lap records we make at Herdy’s! Please hand in at bib pick up/check in.
HEADLAMP: For those night time hours. The lake is not lit around the paths so you’ll definitely need one!
SOUP BOWL/CONTAINER: For the late night hot supplies from the aid station.
KEEP CUP/FLASK: For accessing the aid station for your liquids
TUTU: Strange request, but a new tradition that has grown to become an iconic event, is for all runners to wear a tutu on lap 22. So if this is where you think you’ll be, please bring a tutu to embrace the tradition (crews too!).
