Kent Backyard Ultra – Vigo

Kent Backyard Ultra – Vigo begins at 9:00pm at Vigo Rugby Club in Kent, near Luddesdown, employing the last-runner-standing Backyard Ultra format. All participants run the same 4.167-mile loop once per hour, commencing together on the hour, with no early departures permitted. The race continues until a single runner remains, or until all remaining runners fail to meet the hourly cutoff. The loop incorporates trail paths, rural sections, and consistent gradients, requiring runners to balance controlled pacing with raw endurance. Between laps, participants manage their own needs: refueling, changing gear, and preparing before the next collective start. This event is part of the Hellfire Backyard Ultra series, and each runner's final distance is determined by the number of hourly loops they complete.
