The event will take place on Saturday 29 July in Uis, with the start/finish area at Brandberg Rest Camp. It will take 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. The last single runner to complete an entire loop in the given hour is the winner, and the race will end. There is no cut-off. As long as there are runners on the course, the race continues.

The loop route starts and ends at Brandberg Rest Camp and heads out into the conservancy on jeep track, so roughly 90% of each loop is on gravel. There will be a day loop during day light hours, and a night route on a different course for the night loops. A headlamp is required with sufficient batteries for the night loops.
