Trails & Tarmac Backyard Ultra

The Trails & Tarmac Backyard Ultra - Winter is an endurance running event held near Crickhowell in the Black Mountains, Powys, UK. Scheduled for February 13, 2026, it features a 4.2-mile loop combining equal parts trail and tarmac, with mostly flat terrain, one gradual climb, and a short steep section, allowing for a fast course. Runners complete loops every hour, aiming to cover at least 32 miles to earn an ultra medal, while the last person standing wins the trophy.

The event offers aid stations, hot food after the fifth loop, medical support, showers, and toilets. Parking is available for a small fee, and free photos are provided post-race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
