About This Event

Cornwall's Backyard Ultra is set to return to St. Eval near Newquay on Saturday 3 October 2026. The event adheres to the classic Backyard Ultra format, requiring each competitor to complete a 4.1-mile loop on the hour, every hour, until only one runner remains standing. Participants have the freedom to opt for a single lap or to push on through as many circuits as their stamina allows. The race is designed to accommodate runners of all abilities, from seasoned ultra-distance athletes to those simply seeking a personal challenge. Full entry fees and registration details are available on the organiser’s website.
