Welcome to the Yellow Belly Back Yard Ultra
A beautifully brutal “last person standing” challenge in the Lincolnshire Wolds, area of outstanding natural beauty.
Competitors will set off on the hour every hour to complete the 4.167 mile loop (yard)
They must complete the yard within the hour to enter the next hour. All competitors will DNF until the last person to independently finish a loop is crowned the course champion.
You must be the last person standing to win this event. All other competitors will DNF!
The Bell will be sounded exactly on the hour and if you have failed to make the starting pen before the bell rings, then you will be disqualified from the event and will become one of the many DNF’s!
There will be only 1 athlete who does not receive a DNF and they will be crowned the champion on completion of the last lap!
All competitors will receive a Yellow Belly Goodie Bag, along with a fantastic personalised Yellow Belly DNF medal.
