Loop Til You Drop Backyard Ultra

Loop Til You Drop Backyard Ultra : Turvey House, Bedford

Loop Til You Drop Backyard Ultra is an ultramarathon event held at Turvey House, High Street, Turvey, Bedford. The format requires runners to complete repeated laps of 4.167 miles (6.7 km), starting a new loop every hour; runners who do not start a loop on the hour are eliminated. The event follows an initial running of the format in October 2025 and is sponsored by The Northampton Grocer.

Entries are offered as solo runners or as paired teams. In the paired option, teammates alternate loops so only one member of the pair is on course at a time; if one member cannot continue, both are recorded as DNF. There are capped formats: an 8 hour maximum option and a 7 hour maximum option that uses the same route and format but is restricted to daytime hours.

Event services listed include chip timing, a well stocked aid station, first aid provision, portable toilets, and prizes. Entry pricing on record ranges from £85 to £225, reflecting different entry types. The event description presents this format as a test of endurance and strategy where repeated, precisely timed laps determine progression.
