Beecraigs Backyard Ultra takes place at Beecraigs Country Park near Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland, marking the host venue’s entry into the global Backyard Ultra family. It’s a relentless test of endurance, pacing, and mental grit rather than speed. Each lap is 4.167 miles (6.7056 km) with around 150 meters of elevation, run on forest trails, gravel paths, and undulating woodland tracks, in a loop that repeats hourly. The race ends only when the last runner completes a solo lap. Notable features include on-site camping and parking, toilets and a covered rest area, live lap tracking, a DNF memento, and a trophy for the last runner standing.
