Devon and Cornwall Mini Backyard Ultra
The Devon and Cornwall Mini Backyard Ultra is scheduled for Friday 27 August 2027 at Newnham Park, Plympton, Devon. The event runs on the evening before the main Backyard Ultra in the series and offers a shorter format aimed at support crews, family, friends and the general public.
Participants choose to run one or two laps of a 4 mile circuit on the day. Participants who do not return within the allotted time may still be allowed to start a second lap, making this a lower pressure introduction to the backyard format. Dogs are permitted in the Mini Backyard category.
Entries open on 11 September 2026 at 19:00 and close on 26 August 2027 at 23:52. The minimum age is 16 on the event date. Entry options listed include Mini Backyard one or two laps, Crew Challenge, and Mini Backyard with doggy friend; each option is shown at £12.50. Registration requires a SiEntries account.
Prizes are listed for overall winner, first crew across the line, best dressed, and overall doggy. All money raised through the Backyard Ultra events will support the work of Bowel Cancer West. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
