Plan Greenvale Backyard Ultra
Use the listed edition as your starting point. Each tool keeps imported race facts separate from the targets and assumptions you choose.
Edition notes: The organizer’s Race Roster registration page gives Friday, December 4, 2026, at 9:00 AM AEDT and shows the event as full with 120 participants. Big’s Backyard Ultra’s race page instead lists December 11, 2026, at 8:00 AM and a capacity of 100; this record follows the registration page. Big’s also still lists the record as 38 yards (Ryan Crawford, 2024), while Yardlore’s 2025 results show Crawford raised it to 43. Big’s race page labels the race “Bronze”.
