God's Own Back Yard Ultra Spring
Leeds, United Kingdom • 23 May 2026
God's Own Backyard Ultra - Spring 2026 is an endurance running event held at Hunters Greave, Pollard Lane, Hawksworth, Leeds. Competitors run a 4.167-mile loop every hour on the hour, needing to complete each loop within the hour to continue. The race continues until only one runner completes a loop alone, who is then crowned champion.
The course features a mix of canal towpath, farmland, woodland trails, and tarmac, with some elevation gain but manageable within the time limit. Facilities include camping, toilets, first aid, hot and cold drinks, and a Yorkshire goodie bag for participants. The event is part of the Backyard Ultra Series and offers qualification for the world team championship. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
