Loop Til You Drop Backyard Ultra
Turvey, United Kingdom • 10 Oct 2026
Event details
Loop Til You Drop Backyard Ultra is organised by Polka Dot Events and sponsored by The Northampton Grocer. The next race date is 10/10/2026. The event takes place at Turvey House, High St, Turvey, Bedford, MK43 8EL.
Format and facilities
The race uses the backyard ultra format: runners complete a 4.167-mile (6.7 km) loop every hour and must start each loop precisely on the hour or they are out. The event continues until a single runner remains. There is a paired entry option in which two runners share the same course by alternating loops; only one of the pair may be on the course at any time, and if one cannot continue both are recorded as DNF. A separate 7 Hour Max option uses the same route and format but is capped at seven hours and runs through daytime only.
The event is chip timed and provides a well stocked aid station, first aid, porta-loos, and prizes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
