Glass House Standing

Welcome to the Sunshine Coast Backyard Ultra, and there's no more fitting location for this race, than the stunning Glasshouse Mountains.

Envision yourself in the starting Corral, at the base of Wild Horse Mountain, with the knowledge that you have the entire legacy of the Glasshouse Mountains behind you, providing unwavering support throughout your adventure.

Feel the exhilaration as you race against time to conquer the 6.7km loop within the hour. A new journey awaits, perched at the top of every hour. The stage is set, but only the strongest, the most resilient will remain.

The Glass House Mountains calls, standing tall as the jewel of the Sunshine Coast. Be part of this unique Backyard Ultra!!!!!

Three distinct challenges await, each testing your grit and determination:

1. The ticking clock, relentless and unforgiving, as you strive to complete the loop within the hour.
2. The race against time itself, as you must reach the start line before the next loop begins.
3. The heart-wrenching decision to pull the pin, to withdraw from the event or head out for another loop and see how far you can go.

The ultimate triumph belongs to the Last One Standing, the sole victor to complete a loop on their own. The Glasshouse Standing is about more than just personal glory. It's about preserving the very essence of the Glasshouse Mountains.

As the sun dips below the horizon on the 31st of December 2024, this extraordinary event will commence at 5 PM. It's not just a race; it's a journey into 2025, a chance to kickstart your New Year's resolutions and set a strong foundation for a championing cause.
