Behind every lap, every muddy face and every finish line, thereโs a story.
Maybe it wasโฆ

๐ช Your first ever OCR
๐ฅ Completing 6 hours
๐ Taking on 12 or 24 hours
๐ค Helping another runner get around the course
โค๏ธ Coming back after a difficult year
๐ Simply finishing when you werenโt sure you could
Or maybe your proudest moment is something completely different.
It doesnโt have to be your fastest lap or your biggest achievement.

๐ 24 LAPS. 24 HOURS. ONE HELL OF A STORY. ๐
Sam MacLeish came to Farmyard Jam 2026 with a planโฆ
The plan?
11 laps.
One more than heโd managed the year before.
Have some fun.
Eat some food.
Cheer on the other runners.
Get some sleep in the tent.
Simple enough, right? ๐
20 laps laterโฆ
Sam was getting a talking-to from Alan because he wasnโt exactly thrilled about the prospect of getting wet again! ๐๐
But after 20 hours of Jamie and Alan doing what they do best โ encouraging runners to stop after every lap, while somehow convincing them to carry on โ Sam decided:
โIโve never managed to do a 24-hour raceโฆ so letโs at least try.โ
And then came lap 24.
Standing on that start line, Sam still had some fight left.
23 minutes laterโฆ
๐ 24 HOURS COMPLETED.
๐ 24 LAPS COMPLETED.
๐ FARMYARD JAM WINNER.
HEโD ONLY BLOODY WON IT! ๐คฏ๐ฅ
From arriving hoping to beat last yearโs 10 lapsโฆ
To walking away as a 24-hour Farmyard Jam champion.
And the best part?
This was only Samโs third Farmyard Jam.
His verdict?
โIโll be back every year without fail.โ โค๏ธ๐
Sam, what a performance. What a story. What an absolute legend. ๐
Farmyard Jam isnโt always about the plan you arrive withโฆ sometimes itโs about discovering just how far you can actually go.
