To thee GOAT crew - Thank you! You are iconic. You are game changers. Elite.

To the folks cheering from screens all over the world, videos & messages - thank you! And the spectators, commentators & media out there cheering us all on at every hour of the race - epic. Means the world!

To those I got to share kms with. What an experience, camaraderie & effort out of everyone. So inspiring.

Hard to articulate the impact of exceptional folks all around at @sydneysbackyardultra but reminds me of the good in the world. And the power of the human spirit & sport. Thank you.

37 yards (250km). Last female standing.

We did it!

Find your people. Keep smiling. Keep going.

Lets gooooooo!! xx

Keep going. You can do it ❤️

Years of showing up and being consistent. Years of training, challenges, growing and preserving.

There are good days, hard days, but Rhys showed up every day. Training was non-negotiable. 59 yards of not giving up, and getting it done.

Congratulations Rhysie (Rhys Lighting) - You did it. Keep going ❤️

One more lap.

@sydneysbackyardultra was an experience of a lifetime. Incredible atmosphere, amazing people, challenging course and one hell of a show 🏆

I can’t thank everyone enough for the support throughout the event 🙏

I may have found my limit on this course - however there is still much bigger distances and numbers to come 🚀

Big thanks to @luminamadeit for capturing the story 📸

Sydney Backyard Ultra September addition 16yards/108km. Started the 17th but DNF’d due to rolling ankle and blowing my calf up

@180cadence @sydneysbackyardultra what an event you guys put on. Had an absolute ball out there and of cause had to set the course record for the third event in a row. This time at 25.05- 40km into the race loop 6 in the middle of the heat.
The atmosphere was unreal nothing quite beats everyone calling your name out cheering you on

To my coach @runtheraceau34 what a setup we had it was second to none. To come back in after a loop and throw my bottle on the table and then go to my seat where my food and bottle for the next loop were waiting for me made a huge difference. To everyone else that came down to support or tuned into the live stream Thankyou means a lot to have so many getting behind me

To my sponsors @drinkhyro @maplemovement . Thankyou for the ongoing support. You guys made fueling easy with your products

I’ll be back for more in the future

Never satisfied

6.7km loops every hour on the hour for 40 straight hours!

Sleep time: 4 minutes.

What an amazing weekend and experience, tapped into some new territory’s in not only the mind but as well as the body.
Very happy with the outcome considering I have been in a 20 week marathon prep, building speed and running 70km weeks.

3 weeks post 2:49 marathon.

3 weeks out @melbmara 🚀

Thank you all, you know who you are 🫶🏼

Highlights from Sydney BYU - Got me wanting to sign up myself! Congratulations to everyone who went out there and sent / is still sending it…

The light hit just perfect - Tried out photography for a change with the Sony a7cii and 70-200GMII - I feel like photography teaches framing and composition more-so than videography so hoping I can bring better still frames to my filming.

Sydney’s Backyard Ultra 2026 - 35 yards
(18/04/26)

10 yard PB and more than 50kms longer than then longest run I’ve ever done

Thanks to so many people out there that helped me, cheered me on, and really made me push myself.

Thanks @sheekeyshuffle for sharing your wisdom pre race. Having a proper nutrition plan was an absolute game changer and I’ve never felt so consistently energised and had such a settled stomach during a race. Read some articles from the amazing @intenseatfit which really gave me the edge compared to previous events I’d done

Thanks for so many people on course that I got to chat and share laps with. It helps the hours tick by.

Thanks @clayswalks, @bennyredruns for being my nearby call-a-crew. Couldn’t have gone so long without borrowing the chair from you Clay, and then having Bennie fix it when I broke it 😂. Also made me more relaxed sleeping knowing I had someone to wake me up if the alarm failed.

And, lastly and most importantly, thanks to Kahyla for being my crew, my assistant planner, and everything else in between. She sat around for so many hours, made sure all my food was prepped and ready to go, and really made it so I didn’t have to think about a thing when she was around ❤️

@180cadence You guys always put on a great event! And this one is the best yet.
