About the race
Black Sheep Backyard Ultra is scheduled for early August 2027, listed as Friday 6 August to Saturday 7 August, on the Llŷn Peninsula with the exact venue to be announced. The event uses the Backyard Ultra format: participants must complete a designated loop within each hour, return to the event hub, and then begin the next loop on the hour. Runners continue repeating the loop until they stop; the total distance is open ended and determined by how many loops each runner completes. The organisers note that the format can produce a range of outcomes for participants, from a first 10 miles to a marathon, an ultra distance, or a new personal distance record. Standard entry is listed at £39.
Entry includes event support, on-course or hub refreshments, a Black Sheep medal, and free camping at the venue. The event is part of the Black Sheep Triple Crown medal qualifying series. More detailed venue information and logistical details are to be confirmed by the organiser. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
