Eastnor Castle Deer Park, Eastnor, Ledbury HR8 1RL, United Kingdom
The Eastnor Castle Backyard 8hr and Relay 2026 is held within the private grounds of Eastnor Castle Deer Park in the Malvern Hills National Landscape. The event takes runners on a figure-of-8 route along the estate road with repeated panoramic views of Eastnor Castle and the distant British Camp Iron Age hill fort, set in tree-filled parkland. Competitors may enter as solo runners or as part of a large team relay, and the formats include landmark target distances of 33.3 miles (8-hour) and 50 miles (12-hour), with reflective signage marking the route.
The official listing shows the venue in Eastnor, Ledbury (HR8 1RL) and gives map coordinates for the start location. The organiser notes that runners must supply headtorches or chest torches for the final hours and that the course is run on private estate road surfaces. There is a time listing conflict on the event page (an 08:00–16:00 calendar header versus a description stating 07:30–15:30); entrants should consult the organiser’s registration page for the confirmed start/finish times and full race rules.
