DNF x FCF West Midlands Backyard Ultra

About DNF x FCF West Midlands Backyard Ultra

For runners drawn to the challenge of outlasting the competition, the West Midlands Backyard Ultra offers a distinctive test of endurance and resilience. Participants tackle a 4-mile trail loop repeatedly, starting each hour on the hour until only one runner remains standing. Set at a private farm estate in Staffordshire on 4 June 2027, the event combines the racing format with a festival atmosphere: a tipi village hosts daytime DJ sets, food stalls, hot drinks and seating, while on-site facilities include hot showers, a hot tub, lighting, water points and professional photography.

The course itself runs over mixed trail and single track terrain, fully marked for navigation. Runners must complete each loop within the hour and be ready at the start pen before the whistle; no pacers or support are permitted on the route itself. Crew members are welcome and have access to the central barn, race village and viewing areas. Limited on-site accommodation is available with ten bedrooms, plus space for camping or car bases, and the winner receives a free night's stay alongside their trophy and medal.
