A true test of endurance beneath the trees.
Among The Pines takes the Backyard Ultra format into the heart of Gisburn Forest.
A unique challenge through forest roads, fire tracks and woodland trails.
The format is simple.
4.167 miles.
Every hour.
On the hour.
Complete the Yard within the hour and you earn the right to return for another.
Miss the bell, and your race is over.
The challenge continues through the day, into the night and for as long as runners are willing to keep going.
Until only one runner remains.
Among The Pines is about embracing the unknown.
The darkness.
The silence.
The hours when every step becomes a battle.
Set amongst the forests of Gisburn, runners will experience an unforgettable Backyard Ultra surrounded by nature and some of the darkest skies in the UK.
We believe endurance events are about more than results.
They are about the people you meet, the stories created and the moments shared along the way.
Whether you are chasing the win, your first ultra distance or simply discovering your limits.
Everyone has a place on the start line.
Who has MOAR?
