About the race
Resolute Backyard Ultra is an endurance running event at Delamere Forest, Frodsham, WA6 6NB, scheduled for May 8th 2027. The event is listed as sold out.
Participants run a course made of two laps of a 2.08 mile loop for a total of 4.167 miles per circuit, with 232 ft of elevation. Runners must complete the two laps every hour, on the hour, to continue; failure to meet the time cutoff results in a DNF.
Event rules state that warning bells will sound at 3, 2 and 1 minute before each lap start and that runners must be inside the start corral when the hour bell rings. Participants may not leave the course during a lap except to use the toilet. Crew support is allowed only between laps and crew or spectators must remain in the event village. Running aids such as poles are not permitted. The last person who can start an additional lap is declared the winner; if no runner can start one more loop than the others, there is no winner.
Race HQ acts as the single aid station and crew area. It supplies water, fruit, sweet and savoury snacks, energy bars and electrolytes from the event sponsor, and portaloos are available. Participants are asked to bring their own bottle. Free parking is provided next to Race HQ and is included in entry. Participants who enter receive a confirmation email and an event guide; race bibs are collected at registration on the morning of the event. A participant Facebook group and a Strava club are available for community discussion. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
