Looking for more detailed information about how to partake in the event – check out the event guide here.
The rules of the challenge are relatively simple.
You will be awarded an event medal and coloured finishers shirt based on your ability to complete 10 laps of our roughly 3mile, 4mile or 5mile loops in the given time.
You can change down distance at any time based on how the day is going but you must complete all 10 laps and return to the race village within each hour. Failure to complete a lap and return to the start within the hour will mean you can’t progress onto the next hour.
Your finishing grade is determined by your shortest loop – not total mileage.
The Blue loop is a fantastic starting point because as long as you dig deep, get your mindset and keep moving you can complete the event by either walking or running.
The Black course provides a tough challenge for even the hardest of ultra runners and finishing earns you a spot on the wall below.

"What a fantastic event! I convinced seven friends to do it with me so I was really glad it was so well organised. The team running it, the photographers and the marshals were hugely encouraging and positive. There were fab snacks, and the atmosphere was fantastic."
"Having done my first marathon 2 weeks prior i was unsure of how my legs would hold up. This event really appealed as if i could not manage 50 or even 40miles i could still drop to 30 miles and get a medal! Once i got over the shock of the hills, i settled into it."
"I like the You vs You motto as it certainly was like that at times but overall an excellent event, the format of which sets it apart from the normal marathons/ultras."
