Trails & Tarmac Backyard Ultra
Crickhowell, United Kingdom • 13 Feb 2026
Trails & Tarmac Backyard Ultra – Winter takes place near Crickhowell in Powys, Wales, inside the Black Mountains. The course uses a 4.167-mile loop, a 50/50 mix of trail and tarmac, with one gradual climb and a short steep section; the rest is flat for speed. It’s an open-ended Backyard Ultra where the winner is the last to complete a loop; medals are awarded at 32 miles and the overall winner receives a trophy.
The format uses corral starts, a strict one-hour loop cap, and limited on-course access. Participants are fed and watered, with hot food after the fifth lap; on-site medics, showers, and toilets are available. Entry £100; age 17+. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
