Brighton Backyard Ultra

The Brighton Backyard Ultra offers a distinctive challenge where you run a 6.7km loop every hour, pushing your endurance against the clock and other participants. The course takes you through a mix of scenic paths, rocky terrain, and stretches along the beach before looping back to the club. This format continues until only one runner remains, making it a true test of stamina and mental grit. Whether you’re an experienced ultrarunner or trying this kind of event for the first time, the challenge is clear and compelling. Beyond the physical demands, the event creates a rhythm that keeps you focused on each loop while allowing moments to connect with fellow runners between laps. The coastal views provide a refreshing backdrop that can help break up the effort and keep your spirits up. You’ll find a crowd that respects the challenge and shares a quiet camaraderie, making it a rewarding experience even as the hours stretch on. It’s a chance to see how far you can go, step by step.
