Brighton Backyard Ultra
The Brighton Backyard Ultra is a timed endurance event held at Stanmer Park Nature Reserve, Falmer, Brighton, BN1 9RG on 08th May, 2027. The format requires runners to complete a repeated loop of 4.167 miles (6.706 km) each hour. A new loop starts on the hour and each lap must be finished within one hour to count; any remaining time in the hour is for rest and recovery. The event continues until only one runner completes the final required loop.
The course is fully waymarked and marshalled to guide participants around the park. Compulsory kit includes a head torch, chest torch, or waist torch; high-visibility clothing is strongly recommended for night loops.
What is included with Brighton entries: an entry ticket, participant medal, winner trophy and medal, limited rest marquee for those without a pitch, a pitch to set up a personal rest area, hot and cold water, drinks and snacks, plus event photography and videography.
Course type and safety information: the routes used by the Backyard Ultra UK series are signed with fluorescent caution signs to alert other park users and directional arrows to keep runners on track. Competitors must complete each loop on the marked course and follow the Backyard Ultra rules that govern starts, pacing, and on-course conduct.
