Cairns Smurf’s Backyard Ultra 2025 Australia / My 1st Marathon Experience

I wanted to run a full marathon of 42.2km at least once in my life. Instead, I signed up for Smurf's Backyard Ultra and ran 67 km on a sunny day with 31 degrees. 🏃‍♀️🥵🌲 The Backyard Ultra is a grueling endurance race where competitors run a 6.7 km lap every hour until only one runner remains. Runners are eliminated if they don't finish the lap within the hour or don't start on time. 🕰️ The winner ran 29 laps = 194.3 km. I managed to run 10 laps = 67 km. My longest run ever. 🏃‍♀️ 🙌 And this is my short story about my first ultramarathon! October 25, 2025, Smithfield Mountain Bike Park, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺
