Event overview
The Scouts Honour Backyard Ultra takes place at Hollinwood Scout Camp, Worsley (Manchester) and offers a full trail backyard ultra experience within a working scout camp.
Runners will complete two off-road loops through fields and woodland, starting a new loop every hour on the hour. Complete the loop in time, and you earn the right to start again. The race continues until one last man is standing!
The event is as much about personal challenge as competition. Whether your goal is to complete one lap, set a new distance PB, or keep going deep into the night. The field is capped at 100 athletes, creating a competitive yet supportive atmosphere.
Prize money will be awarded to the overall winner, with something extra awaiting anyone who pushes beyond the 100-mile mark.
