Held over New Year's Eve, this unique event challenges participants to complete a 6.71 kilometre loop every hour on the hour through rugged alpine terrain with over 200 metres of elevation gain, continuing until only one runner remains - the last one standing.
Set against breathtaking mountain scenery at altitude, the event combines physical stamina, mental resilience and the camaraderie of ultra-running, making it a standout challenge for seasoned trail runners. With stunning views of Victoria's High Country and a festive atmosphere in the Falls Creek village, the Aussie Alpine Backyard Ultra offers both a memorable way to celebrate the New Year and an unforgettable test of endurance.
