Organiser's Description

Back yard ultra is the brain child of Laz - Race director of the Barkley Marathon and Big Backyard.

We are very excited to be an affiliated Backyard ultra event.

Run On Trails brings you Faccombe Backyard Ultra. A last person standing event with NO FINISH TIME JUST ONE FINISHER.

The event starts @1800hrs 8th July and goes on as long as you do.

Every hour, on the hour participants must start and complete a 4.1 mile loop. If you don’t start or are late or don’t finish a loop within the hour then your race is over. The quicker you complete a loop the longer you get to rest, but go out too quick and you WILL BURN YOURSELF OUT. Careful planning is the key. The winner MUST complete one solo lap.

We are super excited to bring you this event on a private estate in North Hampshire.
