Following the success of our first Loop Til You Drop in October 2025 we are excitedf to be adding an additional Backyard Ultra event to our portfolio

Loop Til you Drop - Marston Lodge

An event where endurance meets strategy, and the last one standing wins! This unique ultramarathon format challenges runners to complete a 4.167-mile (6.7 km) loop every hour, on the hour

Runners must start each loop precisely on the hour or you are out

Backyard Ultras are a test of both physical and mental endurance but they are the most social events, always starting together, resting together and motivatng each other all the way.

PAIRED OPTION
