About the Longbridge 100 Backyard Ultra (Winter)
The winter Longbridge race is a small-field backyard based in the barns at Church Farm. A 6.78-kilometer yard restarts every hour, and only a runner who completes a final solo loop can win.
Course
Single paths and farm access roads cross natural chalk, flint and gravel. Roughly 180 meters of ascent per yard accumulates quickly, while the covered barn base gives runners and crews shelter between loops.
Race-day weather
Late January in East Sussex is often cold, damp and windy. Rain can make chalk and farm tracks slick, while long hours of darkness increase the value of warm layers and reliable lighting.
