2023 Brandberg Challenge Entry Form
The event will take place on Saturday 29 July in Uis, with the start/finish area at Brandberg Rest Camp.   It will follow the form of the standard Backyard Ultra, where runners have to complete a loop of 6,706 km within every hour for consecutive hours, starting on the top of the hour. Once a runner can't complete the loop within an hour or misses the start of the next loop, they are disqualified. Challengers are limited to up to 6 loops (+/- 40 km) of the 6,706 km course.
