Tammy's Tiny Backyard Ultra is a "half distance" and "half time" of a standard backyard ultra. 

Our tiny backyard ultra is a format whereby everyone must together run a 3.35km lap around a marked course and finish within 30 minutes. Any remaining time you have within the half hour once the lap is complete is usually used to rest, eat and drink.
