Event overview
Held at High Lodge Thetford Forest in Suffolk. Chip timing and a £1000 prize for the winner. We have doubled the prizemoney to attract the best competition. New for 2026 - We have a 6 and 12 hour entry option available at a reduced cost for those wanting to try the event style or who only have a 6 or 12 hour target. Both these will have the same exact setup and start time but you will not be able to continue past that time limit and the timing system will DNF you at that point. There will be no winner in either of the timed races and no prizes. For the 6 hour race we have lowered the age limit to 12 years old but a parent or guardian must always be onsite during the event. We must have their emergency contact number.
This event is part of Suffolk Back Yard Ultra Festival.
