Donkey Drop Out

Welcome to the Donkey Drop Out!

One loop every hour. Last runner standing wins. Guernsey's only backyard ultra — come and find out how many loops you've got in you.

How it works

The backyard ultra format is simple in theory, brutal in practice. Every hour on the hour, runners must complete a loop of approximately 4 miles and return to the start before the next hour begins. The last runner to finish a loop — when everyone else has dropped — wins. There is no set finish distance. There is no second place.

Each loop must be completed within the hour window. Rest time shrinks as your pace slows. The race ends only when one runner remains standing.
