Scouts Honour Backyard Ultra

Scouts Honour Backyard Ultra - Last Person Standing

Do you have the discipline, the endurance, and the honour to be the last one standing? Set in Worsley, Manchester, this is a backyard ultra that promises a flat course, a friendly atmosphere, and a relentless test of will.

Organised by Moar Events, the Scouts Honour Backyard Ultra brings the brutal simplicity of the "last man standing" format to Hollinwood Scout Camp. Whether you are looking to run your first marathon distance, hit a new 50 mile PB, or push through the night to outlast the field, this event is designed for you.

The rules are simple, but finishing is anything but. Starting at 12:00pm sharp, runners must complete a 4.167 mile distance within one hour. If you finish before the hour is up, you can sit, eat, and rest. But when the bell rings for the next hour, you must be in the starting corral to go again.

This repeats every hour, on the hour, until only one runner remains to complete a solo lap.

Course

If you are hunting for a high mileage total, this is the place to do it. The route is an off-road mix of fields and woodland trails within the scout camp grounds. Crucially, the elevation gain is minimal, roughly 21m (70ft) per lap.

With entries strictly capped at 100 participants, Scouts Honour avoids the anonymity of mass-participation events. It creates an intimate, supportive "village" vibe where every runner, whether they drop out after 5 laps or 50, is cheered on.
