The Scouts Honour Backyard Ultra takes place at Hollinwood Scout Camp in Worsley, Manchester, offering a fully off-road backyard ultra experience within a working scout camp.
Runners complete trail loops through fields and woodland, starting a new lap every hour on the hour. Finish within the time and you continue, with the event running until only one runner remains. The flat, runnable course makes it suitable for both experienced ultra runners and those looking to test their limits for the first time.
With a field limited to 100 participants, the event combines a competitive edge with a supportive atmosphere. Whether your goal is to complete a single lap, set a new distance milestone, or keep going deep into the night, the format allows you to push as far as you can.
All runners have access to a designated rest area, refreshments, and on-site support throughout the event. Prize money is awarded to the overall winner, with additional recognition for those reaching extended distances.
