The Eastnor Backyard is held in the beautiful private grounds of the Eastnor Castle Deer Park set within the wider Malvern Hills National Landscape, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Nestled in green hills and tree filled parkland, the private estate road takes runners on a figure of 8 route with stunning views of Eastnor Castle and of British Camp, a distinctive Iron Age Hill fort standing tall on the horizon. Race against the clock, either as a solo runner or part of a large team, to achieve landmark distances of a 33.3 mile ultra or a 50 mile ultra on the 8hr and 12hr formats. Headtorches or chest torches, supplied by the runner, will be required for the final few hours. The route is marked with reflective signs. The Eastnor Backyard and Relay Races are held on tarmac roads and solid farm tracks. These routes are mud free!
