Loop Till You Drop - Delapre Abbey
The event uses the Backyard Ultra format and takes place in the grounds of Delapre Abbey in Northampton. Runners complete a loop every hour and must finish each loop within the hour to continue. The core loop distance is 4.167-mile (6.7 km).
Entry options are offered as different formats rather than fixed race distances. Available options listed by the organiser include:
- Solo: run the 4.167-mile (6.7 km) loop each hour until one runner remains.
- Pairs: teams alternate loops, with only one team member on course at any time.
- 8 Loop Option: complete up to eight loops with the option to stop earlier.
The event notes that all runners who do not complete a loop within the hour receive a DNF. The format emphasises repeated hourly loops, pacing, and endurance over successive hours. Entry fees vary by option; published prices range from £85 to £225.
