Arrowtown Backyard Ultra

Arrowtown, Otago

Follow event Run/Walk Off Road/Trail Team

The Arrowtown Backyard Ultra starts on 8 November 2025 and involves competitors running 6.71km on the hour every hour until the last person is standing.

Competitors that don’t complete a lap within 1 hour or are not in the starting corral for the start of the next lap are recorded as DNF (Did Not Finish). The winner is the last person to complete a lap when all others have given up.

The event is based at Butler's Green. The course is on the Arrow River Trail on predominantly hard packed trail with some winding single trail through the bush.

Take on the endurance challenge solo or get your friends together and run as a team of 2 to 4 - Each team member must still enter and run as an individual competitor, it’s not turnabout. When one team member DNFs, the other team members keep going, your DNF team member will then cheer you on and support you to continue clocking up laps.

This is a self-supported event. You will need to provide your own gazebo, chair, food and water etc.
