A backyard ultra where the loop is short and flat-ish, and the real race is outlasting everyone else. Run one lap an hour until only one runner is left.
Key facts
01A new 6.7 km lap starts every full hour until one runner remains
02Each lap has about 40 m of climbing, so it is gentle on the legs early on
