THE TRAINING YARD
a no frills, no barriers backyard ultra experience in camden.
it’s not a race. it’s a stupidly long run with friends.
THE IDEA
Start together. Run 6.706km. Be back before the next hour starts.
Then do it again, And again, FOR UP TO 12 HOURS.
STOP WHEN YOU WANT AND STICK AROUND FOR DRINKS + NIBBLES.
format
Every hour, on the hour, we start a new 6.706km yard.
You've got 60 minutes to complete it.
Finish early and you've got time to eat, drink, sit down, chat, stare into the middle distance, or question your life choices.
When the next hour starts, you either go again or you're done.
12 yards = 80.5km / 50 miles.
That's the maximum.
Because, unlike a proper backyard ultra, this has the good sense to stop after 12 hours.
