# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Mackyard Ultra - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 11:30 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: 4.2 miles (6.7km) on the hour, every hour, until one remains.About this EventCompetitors will run a 4.2 mile (6.7 kilometre) route or ‘yard’, on the hour, every hour.Each yard starts exactly on the hour. Competitors have 60 minutes to complete each yard and cannot start a yard early or finish late.For example, the first yard will begin at 10:00, the second at 11:00 and so on. A warning whistle will be sounded with 3, 2 and 1 minute before each yard begins.The faster you complete a yard, the more rest you get, but the more tired your legs will become. Which strategy will you choose?Our event has a twist. If more than one competitor reaches the 34th yard after over 140miles of running, the 35th yard will become a straight shoot out. First one over the line wins.This competitor will be crowned the winner of the Mackyard Ultra. Every other competitor is classed as a DNF (Did Not Finish).LOCATIONThe Mackyard Ultra will be held at Redbridge Cycling Centre in Romford, Essex.Car: The facility can be accessed easily by following satnav, with free and secure parking available on site.Public Transport: Multiple routes are available, with the facility being one hour from Central London. The fastest route is by taking the Elizabeth Line from Liverpool Street station to Romford, then the 247 bus to Forest Road, finishing with an 8min walk to the facility.Getting home from the Mackyard Ultra is entirely the responsibility of competitors. If you finish at an unsociable hour, there may be no direct public transport links back into Central London, although Ubers do operate in the area.You are welcome to stay at the facility, but bring your own sleeping stuff!FACILITIES AND COURSEWe have exclusive use of the facility for the whole weekend, which includes on-site parking, showers, changing facilities, and hot and cold water.The route itself will be on a 2km tarmac cycling track, meaning multiple loops will be required to complete each yard. The route is undulating with several corners.You will get to know this loop all too well over the course of the event.SUPPORTIt is likely the Mackyard Ultra will be the furthest you have every run in one go.To help you do this, we welcome small support groups to help each runner.Whilst on the course, this is an entirely self-sufficient event. However, you can set up camp at Event HQ to help push yourself to your limits.NUTRITION AND HYDRATIONAs mentioned above, this is a self-sufficient event. Competitors are expected to bring enough food and nutrition to sustain them for the entirety of the event.
