Absolutely brilliant
This was my first taste of a backyard ultra, stayed a bit longer than expected only because it was so much fun(i think) i left wanting more.
The event itself was well organise, markings was clear and had loads of confidence tape insuring your on the right track. Crew was so supportive and funny which gave you a boost on the lows.
So please i could be part of this event.

Superb event, my first BYU and whilst a very tough course, it was very enjoyable, thank you to Ryan and the team for putting on such an amazing event!
I honestly wouldn't change anything about the event... maybe not the smoke grenades at the start, we were all coughing haha... but thats it! Credit where its due, was a great event.
Steve from photography was superb, all the events team super friendly and helpful
Thank you

Great event but not for beginners
Hi, Kent Backyard Vigo was an unforgettable experience

Well marshalled
Parking was an issue. After finishing my run I was unable to leave due to a vehicle blocking my exit. The owner had displayed his number on the dash but due to poor signal the call wouldn't connect. I found some marshalls but they weren't very helpful. I eventually had to go around asking everyone if it was their car. The last thing I wanted to be doing in my fatigued state. I did eventually find the apologetic owner but I could of done without that. Everything else was great.
Hi Alex, Thanks so much for taking the time to share this. Honest feedback like this really helps us improve, and we genuinely appreciate it. Parking has already been flagged internally, and your experience is being taken into consideration as we review whether Vigo is a suitable location for the 2026/27 series. We know we are not perfect, but we are committed to getting better every time. I am also sorry to hear the marshals were not able to help more in that moment, especially when you were fatigued. We will tighten up our briefing and support so situations like that are handled properly going forward. I am really glad to hear everything else was great, and we would love to see you again at Dover. Ryan Hellfire Events
