This is where it's at this weekend if you are up at 1am Sunday and need some online running entertainment. You'd better be prepared to loose some focus at work throughout the week too because the flying kiwis are going deeeeep!!!

Backyard Ultra World Team Champs kicks off 1am Sunday NZ time.

Last year we finished in 6th place! The Flying Kiwis will be looking to continue to punch above our weight.

Runners with Beards will be doing a livestream - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4OOGA8WxMU

GO FLYING KIWIS!!!!

Wow, another year done and dusted (apart from the week long mission of cleaning, drying and returning all the gear to their rightful places 😆)
Arjan Van't Klooster takes the winners trophy this year. Assist to Jeremy Solakof.
Natasha Walters took out the Last Female Standing, good stuff mate.
From dry, warm & windy conditions yesterday to slow, sloppy rain today, we got reminded that this is a spring event.
Thank you all to every single one of you. Runners, crew, volunteers, sponsors. You are all amazing. I was lucky enough to have Jean Mac on timing and Willow Forbes Race Director at the start so I could share a few yards with you all.
This is always my most favorite weekend (fortnight) of the year.

See you all again soon.

Jeremy has turned back!!! The race is Arjans to win. He just needs to be back before 12 to win. Chuck your jacket on and cheer him in.
