Test your grit and resilience at Cornwall’s only Backyard Ultra.
Running has never been so popular but as the sport grows, so does the divide.
Fast vs slow. Sprinters vs distance junkies. Elites vs everyday joggers. Forget all that.
Backyard Ultra blows the finish line wide open.
One loop. One hour. Repeat.
Whether you smash out a single lap and call it your first-ever ‘race’ or you’re still grinding 30+ hours later, this event’s built different.
We’re here to tear down the barriers, cheer on every runner and create a space where showing up matters more than showing off
THE CONCEPT
- 4.167miles
- 6.7056 kilometers
- 6706.1364 metres
- Start on the hour every hour
- No finish time
- Last person standing wins
- Everyone else is technically a DNF
THE DETAILS
- Location: The Race HQ will be in a private farming field, so please come prepared, if you're in it for the long haul - Your own tent + your own supplies.
- Course: The course will start and end in the field but then be a one lap course on open roads around the old St.Eval airfield. Road safety is our top priority, high vis clothing is encouraged and head torches and back lights will be on the essential kit list for those heading into the night.
- Camping: There is camping available for just £25 per person from Friday evening until the last lap has been completed. We ask everyone to respect the land and all of the owners property as if it was your own backyard.
- Support: We encourage everyone to bring supporters along with them, please ensure if they are camping they also purchase a camping pass.
Cornwall’s first Backyard Ultra isn’t just a race.
It’s a community. A personal test. A party.
And everyone’s invited.
