The Longbridge Backyard Ultra Summer edition starting on 26 June 2026, is held on private farmland in East Sussex.

A Backyard Ultra is a form of ultra marathon race where competitors must consecutively run a 4.167 mile course every hour for as many hours as you can until the last runner is standing.

When each lap is completed, the remaining time within the hour is used to recover and replenish for the next hour's race. The race finishes when one person completes one more lap than anyone else.

The course runs through a mix of single paths and farm access roads on a mix of natural chalky flint and gravel tracks. The elevation for the Summer edition is 190m per lap.
