Doe Lea, United Kingdom • 13 Sep 2025
The Rasselbock Backyard Ultra at Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire is a unique endurance running event set on the scenic grounds and farmlands of the historic Hardwick Hall Estate. Participants run a 4.16-mile loop every hour, starting each lap on the hour, continuing until only one runner remains. The course features a mix of woodland trails, farmland tracks, and some tarmac, with a relatively flat profile ideal for all abilities. The event fosters a friendly, supportive atmosphere, welcoming both seasoned backyard ultra runners and newcomers. Aid stations provide refreshments and snacks, and the event emphasizes environmental responsibility by removing ocean-bound plastic for each entry.
