Australians run for days in Backyard Ultra World Team Championship
- It sounds like a metaphor for torture: a running race with no finish line.
- About 900 runners from 67 nations, including 15 Australians, crossed the start line of the Backyard Ultra World Team Championship at 11pm on Saturday AEDT at Kembla Grange in the New South Wales Illawarra.
- In a deceptively simple test of physical and mental grit, each athlete completes a 6.7-kilometre course loop on the hour, every hour, until one runner remains.
