Tent City Info

One place in Tent City is available to every individual participant in the Backyard Ultra Last One Standing & Backyard 10 categories (not the Backyard 5). Additionally, one place is allocated to each team in the 24 hour or 12 hour team relay events. 

No tent sites are allocated for Backyard 5 and 6hr teams due to their events being only up to 6 hours long. No tent sites are allocated for the Just Run categories (Marathon, 50km Ultramarathon and 80k Ultramarathon) as you guys are on course until you finish (onya!).

Important! All tent sites are 4m x 4m. Please ensure any gazebo, tent, etc can fit within this area.

Tent sites will be allocated on a first-registered, first-served basis in four areas. Individuals will be allocated sites nearest to the finish line, teams will be a little further out. Remember that a communal rest area with water station is available to all participants so you don't *need* to have a tent setup.

Important! If you plan to share a tent with another participant, please ensure only one of you answers "Yes" on the registration form when asked if you require a tent spot. 

Important Rules &  Info

1. We regret that council and park rules preclude the use of gas BBQs or invertor/generators by participants.
   
2. We remind all participants that Totara Park has a 24-hour alcohol ban in place.
3. All items - including any waste - must be removed from the tent site as you depart. Any items of rubbish found on your site = instant and uncontestable DQ.
4. Each tent site is allocated a single space in the main car park. See the parking information on the web site for details of car park entry/exit rules and supporter parking areas.
