Cornwall Backyard Ultra

Running has never been so popular but as the sport grows, so does the divide.

Fast vs slow. Sprinters vs distance junkies. Elites vs everyday joggers. Forget all that.

Backyard Ultra blows the finish line wide open.

One loop. One hour. Repeat.

Whether you smash out a single lap and call it your first-ever ‘race’

or you’re still grinding 30+ hours later, this event’s built different.

We’re here to tear down the barriers, cheer on every runner and create a space where showing up matters more than showing off.

Cornwall’s first Backyard Ultra isn’t just a race.

It’s a community. A personal test. A party.

And everyone’s invited.

Bude Lifeboat Run

The RNLI, with the support of local running club Bude RATs (Run and Tri), invite you to its 15th running of this event. All surplus monies raised will go to the RNLI to help them save lives at sea and on inland waterways. The RNLI was founded in 1824 which makes this year, 2024, a very special 200th anniversary. And so we are hoping we can beat the record donation raised last year. Just click on Bude RNLI Lifeboat Run 2024 - JustGiving to donate.

The evening has a 6 mile race around Bude’s cycleway, canal towpath and off road footpaths for those aged 15 and above.

Plus 2 x Junior 1 mile races for those aged 15 and under, one at 6pm and another at 6.30pm, around a single lap course using the cycleway and canal towpath.

  • Junior 1 mile race for School Years 3 & Under starting at 6.00pm

  • Junior 1 mile race for School Years 4 & Above starting at 6.30pm
