The Hybrid 24 Backyard Ultra | Spectator Registration24 hours of running, food, drinks, music and plenty happening off the course. On December 5–6, we're taking over Stromlo Forest Park for the first Hybrid 24 Backyard Ultra. The concept is simple. Runners complete a 6.7km loop every hour, on the hour, for up to 24 hours. Some will run a few laps, others will be chasing the full 24. Either way, it's going to be a pretty big weekend. And you don't have to be running to get involved! Food, drinks & entertainment We're bringing together a great lineup of local food and drink vendors, with plenty of options throughout the weekend. Here's who's joining us: • Capital Brewing • Dumpling Diplomat • Big Box BBQ • Jarichos Tacos • Brekky Time • Happy Time Donuts • Saccharum Espresso • Matcha Cartel • Munchies • Safari Delight Ice Cream Van • Flat Out Creperie Alongside the food and drinks, there'll be music, brand activations and plenty happening around the start/finish area. Whether you're coming down for lunch, an afternoon beer, a morning coffee or to cheer on a mate, there'll be plenty to keep you entertained.
