Day 2 of the UK World Team Championships. Hollie Jones & Rye Greenhalgh are doing a cracking job crewing the inspirational and inspiring Sarah Perry. A fantastic vibe around the camp and lovely to catch up with a few runners from this year’s Sting BYU and other Race & Event Directors.

We’re incredibly proud to announce swarco as the Principal Sponsor of The Sting Backyard Ultra North 2027!

Having previously supported The Sting with traffic management sponsorship and event safety, SWARCO has already played an important part in helping us deliver safe and successful events.

As a business built around keeping people moving safely, there’s a natural connection between what they do and what matters to us as event organisers.

So we’re absolutely delighted to be taking that partnership one step further.

And what better way to celebrate than by revealing our official 2027 event T-shirt carrying the SWARCO name. 🔥🧡

This isn’t just about putting a logo on a T-shirt. It’s about building partnerships with organisations that believe in what we’re creating and want to be part of its future.

A huge thank you to everyone at SWARCO for their continued support and for believing in The Sting.

THE STING BACKYARD ULTRA NORTH. Same Sting. Bigger ambitions. 🐝

NEW FOR THE STING 2027

We’re bringing something seriously cool to Brompton-on-Swale next summer…

Say hello to thedrinkytin🍸

Rolling in with their incredible vintage converted VW camper, they’ll be serving cocktails, mocktails and proper espresso coffees throughout the day and into the night.

It looks cool. It fits the vibe. And we reckon you’re going to love it.🐝
