Cornwall's Backyard Ultra

Saint Eval, United Kingdom • 4 Oct 2025

Cornwall’s Backyard Ultra is staged in St. Eval, Cornwall, with the race HQ in a private farming field. Each loop runs about 4.17 miles (6.7 km) on Cornish country lanes, including a coastal section along the Coast Path near Bedruthan Steps.

The format is Last Person Standing: start every hour on the hour, with no finish time, and the winner is the last runner to complete a lap while others are DNF. The event has a community, party-like atmosphere focused on personal challenge. On-site camping is available from Friday evening (£25 per person) until the last lap.

Cornwall’s first Backyard Ultra invites everyone to get involved. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
