Last year, Brandon dipped his toes into the world of Backyard Ultras at the Shepparton 'GV BYU', where he successfully completed 32 yards. Building on this experience, he recently participated at the Wild Dog Backyard Ultra, finishing an impressive 4th overall and completing 37 laps. Coming up in August, Brandon has a significant challenge ahead, as he prepares to run from Bondi to Melbourne to raise funds and awareness for Osteosarcoma Bone Cancer.

Levi ran 37 yards in his first Backyard Ultra in 2022 when he was the Last One Standing at Bob's Big Timber Backyard. He has run five Backyard Ultra's since, including the Individual World Champs at Bigs last year. Levi most recently finished as the Last One Standing at Capital BYU running 65 yards. His run at Capital cemented his spot to run for team USA at the Sat Champs in October later this year.

Next weekend, the Red Dirt Backyard Ultra will be held for the first time in Karratha, Western Australia, as a Bigs affiliated event. Jamie Oborne, a local Karratha resident and experienced ultra runner, will be participating in the event. Jacs Homann, one of the Race Directors, has played a key role in organising the race. The Red Dirt Backyard Ultra will also mark the return of Phil Gore, who will be running his first BYU since Bigs last year.
