Curious about the Backyard Ultra format? Come run with the Hellfire Crew.

Join us on Saturday 19th July at Vigo Rugby Club for a completely free, relaxed two-hour taster session.

Whether you’ve already signed up for Round One of the Kent Backyard Ultra Series, or you’re just curious about how it works — this is your chance to test the format, meet the crew, and run the official Day and Night Yard routes in great company.

What’s happening

We’ll run two easy-paced 4.1-mile loops — one on each course — with an hour to complete each, just like in the real thing. This isn’t a race. It’s a social group run.

• Run one loop or both — or once you know the route, feel free to head back out as many times as you like

• No signage — our Hellfire crew will guide the way

• Dogs welcome

• Totally free — just RSVP so we can plan numbers

• Stick around after for a drink at the bar and a post-run chat

Who’s it for?

• ✅ Already signed up? Preview the course and practice your pacing

• ✅ Thinking about entering? Come and see what it’s all about — no pressure

• ✅ Aged 15+ and into trail running? You’ll fit right in

Schedule

• 9:00am – Arrive and check-in

• 9:30am – First loop starts

• 11:30am – All done

What to bring

• Water (it’s going to be warm)

• Trail shoes (the surface is uneven but not technical)

• Trail snacks (because every social should involve snacks)

GPX files are available under the Routes tab on the event page.

Places are limited to 50 runners, so please RSVP if you're planning to come.
Can’t make it? Just let us know — we’ll offer your place to someone else.

Bring your mates. Bring the family. The bar will be open, the vibe will be laid-back, and Trosley Park's brilliant play areas are just a short walk away.

This is what Hellfire is all about:
Running together. Resting together. Pushing forward together.
