NRUFC's Back Yard Ultra'ish

NRUFC's Back Yard Ultra'ish is an in-person running event at Northallerton Rugby Club and Function Room, Northallerton Road, Brompton DL6 2PZ, England. It is presented as the first edition of this Back Yard Ultra style event and is limited to participants aged 18 and over. The event raises funds for the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation.

The format requires participants to run a 1 km loop every half hour, repeated for up to 24 hours. Participants may stop at any time; completion time is determined by how long each person continues with the repeated loop. The organiser frames the format as reflecting physical and mental challenges experienced by people living with motor neurone disease. The event is listed as in-person and ticketed, with a stated refund policy that allows refunds up to seven days before the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
