Lap The Valley Backyard Ultra

Bruin Park cattle property in the Boyne Valley defines this backyard ultra: open rural ground, rolling hills, pastoral landscapes, and no escape from repetition. Lap The Valley Backyard Ultra is designed for experienced ultra runners with significant endurance and mental toughness, a race where the field diminishes as the format repeatedly poses the same difficult question each hour. The loop traverses the picturesque Bruin Park cattle property. Each lap begins on the hour, continuing until only one runner remains as "Last One Standing." The course itself requires no alteration; your legs, stomach, light, temperature, and headspace are what change. It maintains that backyard-ultra atmosphere where participants share the same start line repeatedly, primarily contending with themselves and the clock rather than each other.
