LONGBRIDGE 100 Backyard Ultra 2026

This backyard ultra, set in the scenic areas around Alfriston and potentially passing the Rathfinny Wine Estate, is an endurance race designed to test the limits of continuous effort in a unique format. The event uses a 4.17-mile trail running loop through areas like Polegate, Litlington, and Seaford, with runners needing to finish each circuit within an hour. While accessible to beginners aged 21 and up, the hourly cutoff requires significant mental and physical strength. The race is scheduled near a full moon, adding an atmospheric element to the overnight challenge.
