One of our club’s ultra running specialists, Kev, is once again taking on the gruelling Suffolk Back Yard Ultra.
For those not familiar with the format, the event is a true test of endurance: runners must complete a 4.167 mile loop every hour, on the hour, for as long as they can keep going. The race only ends when there’s one person left standing.
Kev returns to Suffolk with a personal target firmly in mind: to beat his impressive 26-lap performance from last year. That’s over 108 miles — and this year, he’s aiming for even more. With experienced support crew Lizzie Gatherer by his side, he’s well prepared to push the limits once again.
The event is underway this weekend, and you can follow Kev’s progress live at: Timing Monkey – Suffolk Back Yard Ultra 2025
We wish Kev the very best of luck — and no doubt plenty of yards ahead!
