*Tickets on sale 01/11/2026 About Manchester, United Kingdom We will be hosting the fourth Manchester Backyard Ultra at Giants Seat Scout Camp, a scenic woodland site set in the Greater Manchester area, providing a perfect natural setting while remaining close to the city. The course is on a disused railway line and is mostly gravel and tarmac and almost flat, with a couple of very short, sharp inclines. Take a look at our YouTube channel to get an overview. Every year we improve, and this year was very well received. Check us out on RaceCheck.
