Run first, buns after!

We're back at GAIL's Camden Lock for a relaxed 5km, followed by coffee and buns.

THE FINAL YARD

What happens when you remove the price tag from an ultra?

THIS.

Congrats to everyone who joined and helped make it such a special day. And to the final few who threw down 50 miles on a random Saturday.

Worth every penny.

Big thanks to Alex & Olha from Running Club 🌸 Kvitka 🌸 London for joining us on Saturday, bringing good vibes and capturing these brilliant photos from the day! 🇺🇦🌸

It was great having you there 🙌

May this be the first of many stupidly long runs together...

BITS AND BOBS FROM THE MIDDLE

That strange bit where you’re not sure
whether you should still be running,
eating, stretching or just giving up.

Some were having a great time.
Some were having a rough time.

And some continued to run yards
in 35-38 minutes tops 🥵

EARLY YARDS:

It's all smiles, fun & games
and the odd pint of Guinness.

It would feel wrong to host a backyard
without an ode to the man who created it
AND has done everything he can
to make it accessible to everyone.

There's a reason ours is £0.
There's a reason we splurged on a cowbell.
There are reasons our HQ is a pub.

The first image is featured in DO NOT BLOCK GATE, a book we'd highly recommend by David Miller 🙏

If you're joining us for some backyard running very soon:

1. You're nuts
2. You'll be in excellent company
3. It's not a race
4. It's not a picnic either
5. It's 6.706km
6. For up to 12 hours
7. Which is fun
8. Until it's not
9. There will be banter
10. There will be sore legs
11. There was no entry fee
12. But we splurged on an £8.99 cowbell

Some photos from Saturday, plus a couple others, to say a BIG thank you to the people who turn up with good energy.

Who make new faces feel welcome. Who count the chairs, move the chairs, ask if they can help (and help anyway after I say “nah, just relax”).

Who stick around afterwards. Who notice the little things. Who quietly get involved and make things happen, even when they're not physically present.

It doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you.

What happens when you remove the price tag from an ultra?

On 22 August, we're finding out.

A £0 backyard ultra in Camden.

12 hours.
No entry fee.
No barriers.

Just people coming together to run, suffer, laugh and create something memorable.

Your legs are the entry fee.
