About the event

Experience the unique challenge of the Heaton Parks BYU Event on Saturday, March 6, 2027. This thrilling competition invites runners to participate in continuous 6.7km loops around scenic Heaton Park starting at the hour and continuing every subsequent hour until only one competitor remains standing.
The event offers an exciting opportunity for participants to push their limits under varying conditions as daylight transitions into dusk. Each loop covers a mix of park trails, offering both flat terrain and gentle inclines that highlight the natural beauty of Manchester's largest urban green space.
Runners will find themselves immersed in a supportive atmosphere with fellow competitors cheering each other on through every lap. As participants drop out due to fatigue or strategic decisions, the remaining runners face an increasingly competitive field, testing endurance and mental fortitude.
The event promises not only physical challenge but also camaraderie among athletes who share a passion for pushing boundaries within one of England's most historic parks. Whether you're looking to test your stamina in a unique format or simply enjoy the scenic routes that Heaton Park has to offer, this event is an unforgettable experience.
