Brighton’s Backyard Ultra

Brighton’s Backyard Ultra is a last-one-standing ultramarathon held in Dunedin, New Zealand. Participants run a 6.7 km loop each hour, needing to complete it within the hour to remain in the competition. Any remaining time after a lap is available for rest before the next hourly start. The event continues until only one runner can finish another lap, emphasizing pacing, recovery, and endurance over raw speed as competitors fatigue.
