Brighton Backyard Ultra

Brighton Backyard Ultra: The Stanmer Park Enduro

The Brighton Backyard Ultra is a continuous endurance challenge within the undulating landscape of Stanmer Park Nature Reserve, Brighton (BN1 9RG). This event adheres to the established "Backyard Ultra" format, requiring runners to complete a specific 4.167mile (approximately 6.7 km) loop every hour, on the hour. The competition has no allocated finish time and concludes only when one runner completes a final, solitary lap, outlasting all others! 

Course

The 4 mile course is an out-and-back route, requiring runners to ascend to a designated point within the park's higher reaches and return along the same path. The route is very well marked and participants are instructed to run single file on the left side of the path to give way to members of the public. 

Basic provisions are available via a self-service area located within one of the rest marquees near the starting corral. However, it is recommended that runners bring their own food and drink.
