Backyard Ultra UK

Welcome to the Official Backyard Ultra UK YouTube Channel!

In the Backyard Ultra events, participants must run 4 miles (6.7KM), on the hour, every hour, until there is one runner standing. Each lap 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 lap. With  no minimum distance and no set finish line, participants complete hourly laps until there is only one runner still going. It is this runner who is crowned the one and only Backyard Ultra winner!
