Halos
Mighty Totara achievement Halos are a unique and compelling reason to convince yourself you are ready to take on ... One More Lap.
Backyard Ultra Halos
Backyard Ultra participants have the opportunity to earn one of three possible Halos, with the prestige (and the size!) of the halo increasing with each level of achievement.
- The 50K Halo is awarded to all athletes who complete Lap 8 - meaning they have covered a total of 53.6km ...
unless - They go on to complete Lap 15 - with the odometer now ticking into the magical 3 digits with 100.2km complete - and collect the beautiful 100K Halo ...
unless - One (or more) legend sees this thing out to the very end and completes all 24 laps. That would mean this warrior has compeleted the extraordinary total of ONE HUNDRED MILES, earning them the outrageous 100 mile Halo.
Important! The 100 mile Mighty Totara Halo has never been awarded. Will that change in 2024?
Just Run Halos
You don't need to be in the Backyard Ultra to earn one of these magnificent Mighty Totara Halos. All finishers in the Twilight Marathon and 50k Ultramarathon will receive a race specific Halo to commemorate their amazing achievement.
