Orkney Backyard Ultra

Run at Twatt Farm in the west of the very beautiful main island of Orkney which is closer to Oslo than London, and the perfect place to run and run and run – and run; it’ll hurt, but in a good way

This low-key, off-grid event will be run on a mixed terrain route of dirt road, grass and trail - out and back - across Twatt Farm.  With almost 300ft of elevation, the route is easily completed within an hour (at least for the first few laps!)
