REFUNDS AND TRANSFERS
​Refunds are no longer available for Ultra Series Backyard and Frontyard events. Transfers are permitted but are subject to terms set out in the Race Manual.
We will have a dedicated Melbourne Frontyard Ultra Buy/Swap/Sell Page on Facebook. Inevitably, some entrants will not be able to participate, for a variety of reasons, and the opportunity to buy/swap/sell entries will be made live for runners to arrange between themselves on our registration platform.
QUALIFICATION
Runners must be at least 14 years of age on the day of the race.
Any runners under this age who wish to participate in this event will need to contact Ultra Series for consideration.
CHECKPOINTS
The only checkpoint is at the start line.
Each runner must be in the Starting Corral on the hour, every hour to continue the next lap.
There will be a 10 second countdown before the start of each lap.
RUNNER SAFETY
There are a few items of equipment that will be required at times during the event.
HEAD LAMPS: these MUST be worn at night
