Birdy's Backyard Ultra

Friday, August 7, 2026 · Western Australia, Australia

About this race

Lake Towerrining anchors this event, and Birdy's Backyard Ultra holds significant standing in the backyard ultra community. It is described as an "iconic Backyard Ultra on the Australian calendar" and the "original world series affiliated Backyard Event" for Ultra Series. The event has a history of Australian records, notable performances, and runners discovering their limits when the initial easy miles conclude. This race is suited for ultra runners who grasp the format's demanding nature: continue participating, keep moving, and allow the competition to determine the outcome. The source mentions "extraordinary feats, incredible moments" and a course that facilitated the development of substantial backyard talent, including Phil Gore. Alongside Herdy's Frontyard Ultra, it contributed to Western Australia becoming the "number 1 state in the world" for runners completing 24, 36, and 48 hours.
