Tailwind Nutrition Australia is the Official Nutrition Partner of The Furnace.

On race day, Tailwind’s Endurance Fuel is premixed and waiting at base camp. Calories, electrolytes, and hydration in one bottle. No gels, no measuring, no guesswork between loops. Just fill and go.

New to Tailwind? It mixes at 200 to 300 calories per 500 mL of water. Sip steadily and the energy stays level, the stomach stays settled. Eight mild flavours, five without caffeine and three with.

Gentle, versatile, and already trusted by runners across Australia. One less thing to think about when the yards start to add up.

Meet your Race Director.

I’m Blake. I’ve run two backyard ultras, and I know exactly what a backyard does to a person.

I built The Furnace to create a real challenge: no shade, Queensland heat, an hourly loop that doesn’t stop for anyone. Dalby’s first backyard ultra.

120 spots. Registrations open August.

If you’ve ever wondered where your actual limit is, this is where you find out.

A test of the mind and body.

Same 6.7km loop. Every hour. The sun doesn’t let up and neither does the clock. There’s no pacing yourself for later. Every lap asks the same question again.

Most people know their limit in theory. This is where you find out in practice.

The hardest part of a backyard ultra isn’t a single loop. It’s running it again, and again, and again, until you can’t.

There’s no finish line to chase, no pace to hold. Just a loop, a clock, and a decision every hour: go again or don’t. The format doesn’t care how strong you looked on loop one. It only counts who’s still standing on the last one.

That’s the test. Not speed. Repetition.

The Furnace BYU. 20 February 2027. Dalby, QLD.

Easy on paper. Different once you’re standing at the start line.

How far will you go?
