God's Own Back Yard Ultra Spring

God's Own Backyard Ultra – Spring 2026 takes place at Hunters Greave, Pollard Lane, Hawksworth, Leeds LS5 3BF. Part of the Backyard Ultra Series, it uses a 4.167-mile loop that runners tackle on an hourly basis; if a loop isn’t completed within the hour, the competitor is out, and the last person remaining on a loop is crowned champion. The route is a mixed surface course—canal towpath, farmland and woodland trails with some elevation, plus a night yard to avoid dark canal crossings.

Amenities include camping, toilets, first aid, water, fruit and sweets, a bespoke Yorkshire Goodie Bag and a special edition T-shirt. It’s a silver event offering BYU world championship qualification. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
