Description

Welcome back to the 1st Rasselbock Backyard Ultra in the Autumn! For those who have not taken part in a backyard ultra before then, you’re in for a treat. It is a last-man-standing event where you must begin a new lap on the hour, every hour. The race will only end when there is just one more runner remaining to start a lap. It’s sure to be an exciting and enjoyable event for runners and spectators alike with all the emotions guaranteed.

“Elite Backyarders”

We want to make our Backyard Ultra one of the best in the world where everyone wants to come and race. We want it to go on and on (although don’t quote me on that after 60 hours!) with each event lasting as many laps as humanly possible. To achieve this we will be offering a discount to anyone who has completed a backyard within the last two years and lasted more than a day and a half (36 hours, 36 yards, 36 laps). The further you have run the bigger discount we can offer.

Whilst we do want to attract runners who can compete for days, we also want to stress that this event is open to everyone, especially if you haven’t taken part in a Backyard before. You will have so much support from myself, the team, and volunteers as well as other runners.

If you have been to one of our events in the past then you’ll know how much support we give to every runner no matter your goal. The format for this event may be different but the love and support from everyone else will always be the same.
