Baths Backyard Teaser!

The Baths Backyard Teaser!

Cover four miles, on the hour, every hour

for up to 12 hours following the backyard format.

So, whether you want to clock up 72km in 12 hours or bag 36km in 6 hours this race is for you. The distance has been chosen so that runners thinking about or training for a Backyard ultra can practise pacing. It's also a great way to push your running distance or experiencing running by the light of your head torch.

OR

Baths Continuous Canter!

You have 6 or 12 hr in which to cover as many loops of the 4mile loop as you can. This is a continuous event.

Starting with the backyarders at 8am for the 12hr or 2pm with the 6 hr you cover the same course but stopping to rest as you choose - how far can YOU run in the time?

The Practicalities:

HQ:

We will use one of the pavilions in the grounds of the gorgeous Prior Park College as our base. It is a large, warm and dry space where you can set up your base. Here there will be unlimited tea and coffee, cakes, fruit and other goodies for you during the event.  There are also toilets and if the weather permits we will have a fire pit to warm your cockles once daylight fades.

What you will need:

Your own race nutrition, you are the best judge of what fuel you like, so please make sure you have enough of the right stuff to keep you going loop after loop. The snacks provided are for supplimenting purposes only.

Warm jackets, rugs, dry robes or something to keep you warm as you rest between loops. There will recyclable cups available but please bring your own mug.
