Welcome to the first Polka Dot Races Loop Til You Drop Back Yard Ultra. Sponsored by The Northampton Grocer
Where endurance meets strategy, and the last one standing wins! This unique ultramarathon format challenges runners to complete a 4.167-mile (6.7 km) loop every hour, on the hour
Runners must start each loop precisely on the hour.
If you fail to complete the loop within the hour or do not start the next one, youโre out! The race continues until a single runner completes one final loop alone, crowning them the Last Person Standing.
A backyard ultra doesnโt have a finish time, as such 24 hour events cannot be classed as a backyard ultra.
We are the first to offer the option of a paired backyard run, where one of you runs a loop whilst the other recovers before starting the next loop. Only one person can be on the course at one time and must alternate the loops. The course is all off road and trail within the beautiful grounds of Turvey House.
Chip timed, Well stocked aid station, First aid, Porta-loos, Prizes.
08:30 Race Brief

Whether youโre here to push your boundaries, test your mental toughness, or support the incredible athletes, Backyard Ultras promise an unforgettable test of endurance, grit, and community spirit.
