An unexpected turn of events .. the start of the 26th yard, and both Joshua and Zoe have thrown in the towel after incredibly strong performances from the start! Now, the race is Ned’s to win .. he just needs to come back before 21:59h!
We spent the last couple of hours securing our tents and moving everything in out of the rain, and the runners keep going! They’re into their 10th yard now and a full team of 15 still running 🤩
They’re on 51. Groundbreaking every loop. And they seem to get stronger each time! @psychederic18 @joshua_toh @reddotrunningco
Start of loop 49 for @psychederic18 and @joshua_toh … these two are absolute legends! They don’t seem to tire and are consistently banging out yards like clockwork. #lastmanstanding @reddotrunningco #deadeffinglast
The start of hour 43 - Backyard Ultra World Team Championships. Joshua and Deric have been running together for over 14 hours, and now Joshua’s opened a gap that might be a significant move to decide Winner and Assist. Both look strong, who will break first? Stay tuned!! @reddotrunningco @fatburd_events @joshua_toh @psychederic18 #lastmanstanding
Joshua and Deric, off in the rain on their 36th loop. Both look strong. 💪🏼
Joshua and Deric have equalled the national record of 34 yards now! They’re both looking strong, averaging 48’ loops and we should have a new national record in just over an hour’s time!

The return of the punkahwallah! 🇸🇬
Resting up before loop 26! 💪🏼
Between loops at the Beach Backyard Ultra, here’s how our runners rest! Most have ten minutes or less to get their nutrition in, sort out any other requirements, or snatch a quick nap before getting out again for the next loop. They’re all doing incredibly well, but we’ve had a few DNFs (Did Not Finish) now that we’re onto the 9th loop.
Hang in there, everyone!
We started to get rain (what a surprise!) around 40 minutes ago … VERY hard at times, and the tent walls came down. The runners are out on loop 8 at the moment … 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
