Red Dirt Backyard Ultra 2026

Located near the Bayview Hotel, the Red Dirt Backyard Ultra offers a truly remote setting; "WA's remotest backyard ultra" is an accurate description. This event focuses on the essential elements of backyard racing, with participants completing the same loop until only one runner remains. The atmosphere is more akin to a challenging local competition than a refined road race, boasting a "vibe that is unforgettable." The loop incorporates gravel, firm sand, and the characteristic red dirt, preparing participants for the demands on their legs and footwear. Runners must complete the loop within the hour, every hour. The Last One Standing format emphasizes patience and strategic judgment as much as speed. It attracts individuals "having a go" alongside those aiming to test their endurance limits, all within an atmosphere of camaraderie, encouragement, and community spirit.
