FRIDAY 28th AUGUST 7PM
TICKETS ON SALE MONDAY 3rd AUGUST 8PM
The Flying High Half Yarder is an exciting evolution of the Backyard Ultra. Set at the end of Melbourne Airport’s runway in Woodlands Historic Park, this is where every lap feels like another departure.
Half the distance – Half the rest time – Twice the decisions.
How far will you fly?
HOW IT WORKS
– 3.35KM LOOP
– COMPLETE YOUR LAP WITHIN 30 MINUTES
– DEPART AGAIN
– EVERY 30 MINUTES
– MISS THE NEXT DEPARTURE…
– YOU’RE GROUNDED
– CONTINUE UNTIL ONLY ONE REMAINS
This is not a race against everyone else. It’s a race against time, fatigue and the voice in your head. At the completion of every lap, everyone still standing is tied for first place.
