TBYU

Hi all. For those of you that have booked the car park for can you please check you have added the vehicle registration in the notes as requested.

I need any missing registrations by the end of today as everything has to be submitted tomorrow.

Currently there are 23 of you (out of 66 bookings) who have not followed the instructions and added registrations.

Please ask any crew to check.

If we don't get them you may have to pay again as we currently can't link the registration to a name on the system in the forest system and they will be upset if we clog up their customer services desk on Saturday morning with people trying to add info.

Please do NOT put registrations in here as a comment and please email me at [email protected] and put TBYU parking as the subject.

Please speak to crews and any people coming to spectate.

Also please don't email me to ask me to check what you put down as I am busy setting up the event. You can check your confirmation email or check your entry/order online.

Sorry if that sounds grumpy but we are flat out setting up.

See you Saturday.

There's cutting it fine and there's cutting it fine...

We're excited for the tactics and timekeeping! The trotting and the tottering. The trances and the tears. The toasts and the triumphs.

Will you be keeping watch this weekend? 👀

45 seconds of whistles from the Back Yard Ultra.

Was it necessary?

No.

Was it a good use of time?

Also no.

Could I have made it shorter for the benefit of the algorithm?

Probably.

But sometimes you just have to let things Flo... Rider. Let me know if you endure it to the end and I shall bestow compliments upon you.

Sorry Lindley. Although I do think, like Flo, you could really clean up at Eurovision.

One week to go!

This time next week High Lodge, Thetford Forest - Forestry England will be a hive of activity and anticipation.

It's look a bit warm and drizzly at the moment.

How far will they go???

Thetford Backyard Festival not quite what you’re after?

The Stort30 might be the perfect ultra for you 👀

Following river towpaths and grassy trails, this out and back route takes the stress out of navigation so you can concentrate on the running.

The practically flat course makes it brilliantly runnable and a great choice if you want to test yourself over the ultra distance without throwing too much elevation into the mix.

It’s also widely regarded as the perfect first ultra marathon.

Checkpoints are roughly every 5 miles with water, squash, sweets, snacks and maybe some cake. Plus whatever else Lindley happens to find on offer that week.

30 miles. Flat. Friendly. Very runnable.
Join us on Sunday 25 October.
