Backyard ultra running gains attention in Britain
Original: backyard ultra
A first-person account in The Independent describes taking part in a backyard ultra, an endurance running format in which competitors must complete a 6.7-kilometre loop every hour, continuing until only one runner remains. The article calls the format brutal but addictive, adding to growing curiosity about the event and the mental and physical toll it takes on participants.
Why now: Interest in the backyard ultra format is growing as more runners try the unusual last-one-standing race style.
