The series will be held as one event in each location each month for 4 months. These will be March, April, July and August. Leaving May and June for the Northern Victorian Winter to pass.
This is were it gets exciting! We don't yet know where they are going to be held. This one is up to the community. Head to the Pitch your Town page for more on this one!
Uncapped, or even 24 hour events can be daunting for those that don't know much about the format, or are new to running. The 8 hour event allows for runners to come and try the format at a low cost, and maybe push through to an ultra. (6.72km x 8 = 53.76km)
Spending heaps of money on something you aren't sure of is never fun; and with a shorter event comes the ability to make each event cheaper than a marathon, and a great opportunity for training runs if you're already entered into our premier event, GV Last Man Standing.
Whether you decide to run one, or all four of the events in the series; each runner will accumulate series points based on their completed laps. Those with the highest accumulated points will be awarded our very own 'golden ticket' into GV Last Man Standing in September.
**In the event of a points draw, the winner will be selected out of a draw**
Even with a condensed format, we will still provide all the aid station bits you have come to love. Lollies, Fruit, Water, Tailwind Nutrition Endurance Fuel, and more.
Each runner will also be timed to record lap times and laps completed.
As these are capped time events, they are not affiliated with the International Backyard Ultra format, however all standard backyard ultra rules will apply. The only rules that will vary will be the starting corale and the aid. Bring your kids in the pram, dogs on a leash, they're all welcome.
Note: We have made this event as affordable as possible, and are happy to have others running with you. However, only fee paying runners will be entitled to the aid station goodies and timing.
