Your place on the Shield Wall

Every warrior has a shield. Every shield tells a story.

​

Every competitor at Valhalla Backyard Ultra will receive a personalised Viking-inspired shield.

​

Before the battle commences, each runner will place their shield upon the Valhalla Shield Wall.

​

As the hours pass and runners leave the competition, their shields will be removed from the wall.

​

One by one, the shields disappear.

​

Until just one remains.

​

The final shield belongs to the Last One Standing.

​

Your shield is yours to keep — a lasting reminder that you entered Valhalla and discovered how far you could go.

Glory is earned. Never given.

At Valhalla Backyard Ultra, rewards aren't measured only in money, medals or trophies.
 

They're measured in the hours you endure, the limits you overcome and the respect you earn from the warriors standing beside you.
 

Whether you complete five yards or fifty, every runner who steps into Valhalla becomes part of its story.
 

And for those who go further, there are rewards worthy of the battle.

Two warrior honours. One ultimate champion. A place in Valhalla history.
