About Beacon Hill Backyard
Beacon Hill Country Park in Charnwood, Leicestershire, hosts this backyard ultra where runners tackle a 6.71km loop of gravel, forest path and volcanic outcrop repeatedly each hour. The format is unforgiving: there is no finish line. Competitors continue until they can no longer complete a loop within the hour, or until they're the last one standing. This Big's Backyard affiliated event tests patience and pacing as much as fitness, with the terrain becoming increasingly technical as daylight fades.
Participants can either commit to the full event or opt for the 12-hour taster experience. Between loops, runners rest and refuel in marquee bunkhouses with labelled cubby holes for personal belongings—personal tents are not permitted. The event takes place on 27 March 2027, and results feed into the global backyard ultra ranking system.
