We are excited to host this unique challenge for the first time in the Free State, South Africa!!!
The Farmyard ultra is a form of ultra run or mountain bike race where competitors must consecutively run the distance of 6.705km/ 13400 (13.4km) meters in less than one hour. When each lap is completed, the remaining time within the hour is typically used to recover for the next hour's race.
