Blue Goat's Backyard Marathon 2025
Sunday, November 1, 2026 · Mount Victoria, Australia
About this race
Blue Goat Backyard on Darling Causeway is the anchor here, tucked up at Mount Victoria and aimed squarely at runners who are fine with a long day of work. Blue Goat's Backyard Marathon sits in that no-nonsense ultra space: UTMB Index listed, small fields, and results that suggest people earn their finish rather than cruise to it.
The course information points to serious climbing, with the shorter listed race already carrying plenty of vertical and the longer one adding more again. The crowd is ultra runners, not fun-run traffic, and the 2025 results show only 5 finishers in one race and 18 in the other, which tells you plenty about the tone: turn up ready, manage yourself, and respect the hill.
