DNF BYU Training Camp

DNF x FCF BACKYARD ULTRA

28th August 2026 | Far Coley Farm, Staffordshire

This isn't a race. There is no winner.

This a race against the clock. Its a simulation. It's a practice. It's a chance to test everything you've been working on. Whether you've done one before or simply want to tick off an ultra distance in a safe environment, this camp is for you. 

With coaches and other runners around, aswell as an athlete barn for everyone to base themselves in, this is a 12hr test. But you don't have to do 12hrs, you can try the format and stop when you want. But get to 12hrs and you'll have done 50miles. 

Remember, a BYU is a race against yourself. And this simulation is there to help you develop and grow as an ultra runner.

The DNF BYU Training Camp is an event designed to practice endurance, discipline, and mental resilience. Every hour, on the hour, you’ll toe the line and run a 4.167-mile (6.7km) loop. Finish within the hour, you earn the right to start again. Miss it — you’re out.

There’s no winner. Theres no DNF's. No medals. No flags or patches. This is serious. This is a simulation for you to see where you are. OH BUT you do get a free hoodie....

Hosted on the Far Coley Farm private estate, this event brings together trail runners, ultrarunners, and those curious to see how far they can really go. Expect mixed trail and single track, a buzzing event village, and an atmosphere built for suffering — and support.
