Loop Til You Drop Backyard Ultra - Marston Lodge
Loop Til You Drop is a backyard ultra event at Marston Lodge, Marston Trussell, organised by Polka Dot Events and scheduled for 17 April 2027. The format requires participants to complete a 4.167 mile (6.7 km) loop every hour. Each loop must be started precisely on the hour; failure to start on time results in elimination.
The event offers three entry options. Solo entrants run each loop themselves. A paired option allows two runners to share the same loop sequence by alternating laps, with only one partner on the course at any time; if one member of the pair cannot continue, both are recorded as do not finish. An eight hour Max option uses the same route and the same hourly loop format but is capped at eight hours and runs through daytime only.
The event is chip timed and provides a well stocked aid station, first aid provision, portable toilets, and prizes. Backyard Ultra races emphasise regular group starts and shared resting periods, creating a format where participants repeatedly return to the same base area between loops and can support each other between efforts.
