This September, a team of JRC runners will take on the Solace Backyard Ultra in Knutsford, with one goal: to push beyond their limits and achieve a new distance PB in a supportive team environment.

A Backyard Ultra is simple in concept, but extremely challenging on the mind and body:
📍 Complete a 6.7km loop every hour
⏱️ Start a new loop on the hour, every hour
🏁 Keep going until only one runner remains.

Over the next 12 weeks, the team will prepare with:
🌲 Group trail runs
💪 Backyard Ultra simulations
🏋️ Strength coaching and nutrition support from FORM Gym

As Just a Run Club is a running community focused on connection and mental health, we will be fundraising for SHOUT to help support the amazing work they do by offering free 24/7 mental health support.
