INFO
Race Starts - Saturday 30th August at 9am
The concept is simple. Run 4.167 miles every hour, on the hour. The aim is to complete as many laps as you can!
Each circuit starts on the hour and must be completed in less than 60 minutes. When each lap is completed, the remaining time within the hour is typically used to recover for the next circuit.
Everyone completes hourly circuits until there is only one runner still going. They are the event winner!
A Personal Endurance Challenge:
The Backyard Ultra is a personal endurance challenge in which you see how far you can push yourself, come and see how many loops you can do, you might just surprise yourself.
We've had a number of runners who smashed their distance PB's, with first half marathons, first marathons, first 100k's and first time 100 milers over the past 4 years. This format really opens up those distances for every runner out there. Our current record is 30 laps held by George.
Camping is included in your entry and is available from Friday 29th August till Sunday 31st August (or till the event finishes)
As with the past two years we will also be offering a hair plaiting service for those with long hair - apparently its a good add on as our winner used the ad hoc service this year. This will be free to use, however a donation to the charity would be amazing. We also try to make our event as accessible as possible, and provide an accessible toilet, sanitary bins that are also stoma friendly.
As with all out events, all the money raised from entries will go directly to supporting those living with Bowel Cancer and fund research and training.
