In simple terms run as many of the 4.2 mile loops as you can within your chosen time limit.Only complete laps will be counted, so you will need to work out if it's worth starting another lap if you've only 30 mins to get around. If there are multiple runners having completed the same number of laps within the time period, then finishing places will be decided by the fastest cumulative time.
The course has approx 650ft of elevation gain per loop. The distance has been chosen so that runners thinking about or training for a Backyard ultra can practise pacing (complete each loop within 1 hr- 50 miles in 12 hrs)
The event will start at 10am, obviously the 6 hr race will end at 4pm, and the 12 hr race will end at 10pm, meaning head torches will be required for the last few hours.
There will be snacks (including Vegan), such as flapjacks, gels, crisps , fruit and biscuits available. There will also be access to hot drinks, and complimentary Pizza.
Camping is included in your entry fee for the night time of the event. (21st June)
