The
Red On Backyard Ultra
is a unique test of endurance held within the
iconic british racing grounds of Cheltenam Racecourse

format, runners must complete a
6.706 km (4.167 mi) loop every hour, on the hour, until only one runner remains
. With no set finish line, the event pushes competitors to their absolute limits of physical and mental resilience.
What sets
Red On
apart is its
military precision,

well-marked and marshalled
within such an iconic venue. Participants will battle not only fatigue and sleep deprivation but also unpredictable weather conditions, all while embracing the camaraderie that defines the backyard ultra community.
With a relentless format and an unforgiving environment, the
Red On Backyard Ultra
is more than just a race—it's an endurance experience like no other.Will you be the last one standing?
