Get Team England to the 4 Nations Backyard Ultra C

Aim

Help Team England Reach the Four Nations Backyard Ultra Championship

On 20th June, Team England will compete at the Four Nations Backyard Ultra Championship in Northern Ireland against the strongest athletes from Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Backyard Ultra is one of the toughest endurance events in the world. Athletes must complete a 4.167-mile lap every hour, on the hour, until only one runner remains. Several members of our squad have already run for over 54 consecutive hours, covering more than 225 miles, and are aiming to go even further while representing England.

Unlike many national sports teams, our athletes receive no funding and must cover all costs themselves. Several members of the squad are based in the South West which makes travelling to Northern Ireland an incredibly long and expensive journey, and some are on low incomes. Despite earning the right to represent their country, the cost of attending is a significant challenge.

We are raising funds to cover:

• Ferry crossing for the team van – £759

• Van hire – £650

• Fuel – approximately £300

• Team entry fees – £500

• Accommodation before the event – £250

• Travel costs for those flying - £500

Total target: £2,959

Every donation, no matter the size, will help ensure England's strongest athletes can compete and represent their country on the national stage.
