The Conquer Backyard Ultra

Sat 6th December 2025

A person wearing athletic gear and a beanie climbs outdoor stone steps lined with "Warrior Adventure Racing" flags in a wooded area. The steps are surrounded by trees, and sunlight filters through the branches. A person in athletic gear triumphantly holds a plaque overhead, standing in front of a large banner featuring a silhouette of a runner and the word "CONQUER." The scene appears to be outdoors at night. Two people wearing headlamps serve steaming hot food from a large pot outdoors at night. Both are dressed warmly, indicating a cold setting. The scene is dimly lit, with other figures visible in the dark background. A person in a black hoodie and beanie smiles while reaching towards a small, ornate box. They are surrounded by others under a canopy, with bright lights in the background. The atmosphere appears festive and lively. A group of runners wearing headlamps and winter gear competes in a nighttime race. They are on a dimly lit outdoor path, some carrying hydration packs and bottles. The scene is illuminated by their headlamps and a nearby light source. A person wearing a red jacket and a dark beanie peeks out from behind the gap in a large gray sheet or tarp. The surroundings suggest an outdoor setting. Participants in outdoor gear ascend concrete steps during the Warrior Adventure Racing event. Banners with "Warrior Adventure Racing" flank the path, and trees are visible in the background. Some people use trekking poles. A person with a frost-covered beard and a headlamp sits indoors, partially in shadow. They wear a blue head covering and dark clothing. The background is slightly blurred but shows indistinct objects and warm lighting, suggesting an enclosed space. A person in a white jacket and black gloves walks past a rocky, frozen waterfall, holding trekking poles. The icy formations and bare rock suggest a cold, winter environment. A tall waterfall cascades down a rocky cliff surrounded by bare trees under a clear blue sky. The water flows over multiple tiers, creating white foamy streams against the dark rocks. The scene is bright and vibrant.

Organiser's Description

New Concept for Grand Prize in 2025!
For the last two events we have received many concept ideas from runners about our unique event and have decided to change the way the funds are given out. During the last two events, only 13 women have attempted the Conquer, so to encourage more women to run this amazing, challenging course we are have a separate division for women. Prize money will be based on how many of the same sex registers for the event.
Example: If 50 women sign-up (not just show up) the $5,000 goes to the last woman standing.
If 100 men sign-up (not just show up) the $10,000 goes to the last man standing.
