Rasselbock Backyard Ultra

Rasselbock Backyard Ultra Sherwood Pines

The Rasselbock Backyard Ultra is an endurance running event held within Sherwood Pines Forest Park in Nottinghamshire. Operating under the Backyard Ultra format, participants are tasked with completing a 4.167 mile (approximately 6.7 km) loop every hour, on the hour. The competition continues without a fixed duration, concluding when a single runner remains as the last individual to complete a lap within the allotted time.

Course: 

The 4.167-mile loop is entirely contained within the managed forest environment of Sherwood Pines. The terrain consists primarily of established forest trails, including compacted earth and sections of gravel. The course is undulating, with a consistent pattern of climbs and descents on each lap. The setting offers an immersive running experience through the pine woodland, with trails that are generally non-technical, allowing for a steady running pace.

The Rasselbock Backyard Ultra in Nottinghamshire is suited for endurance runners seeking a mental and physical challenge that focuses on sustained effort, strategic pacing, and resilience within a looped forest environment.
