Herdy's Frontyard Ultra

WELCOME TO ULTRA SERIES AUSTRALIA

FRIDAY MARCH 13, 2026

Run a 6.71k loop on the hour, every hour,
as far as you can go.

HERDSMAN LAKE, HERDSMAN, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

ONE LOOP, ENDLESS LIMITS

It has grown to become the WORLD’S BIGGEST BACKYARD ULTRA, but why enter an event with a 99.8% chance of a DNF? Why run something where at best, there is only one winner?

 

​​Why? Because this is a race against yourself, more than against anyone else.

Herdy’s Frontyard Ultra instantly became a phenomenon in 2021 with a new Australian record being created on this circuit around Herdsman Lake. See, runners tackle a 6.71k loop on the hour, every hour until the last person standing. Everyone that times out on a loop or fails to continue on, is a DNF. 24 hours of 6.71k = 100 miles. How many times can you go back out there and do it again and again?

Herdy's Frontyard Ultra Entries OPEN on Friday 28 March 4pm!

For those who look a little deeper into this, this event is more about a challenge for yourself. How far can you push yourself to run? How many 6.71k loops can you complete before you ring the bell and resign?

Herdy’s Frontyard is the ultimate endurance test of the mind, body and soul, and we invite you to come and taste how hard it bites you, all within the most incredible festive environment an ultra marathon could ever have.
