Kelp And Fern are an outdoor media company, we’ve been photographing and videoing the outdoor world, those who love outdoor pursuits, the oceans and the mountains.
if you have a story to tell, an event to showcase or memories to save contact us and we can work together on making your story come to life.
I’m Adam, I’m Emmie, I’m Graham, I’m Gavin, I’m Jenny I am Vic Izzy Owens also known as The Happy Runner [Music] whats happening *everyone laughs* [Music] right have we got everyone so there are two things that you guys can do that will get our team disqualified ok
If you you give us any assistance after the lap has started and that’s even passing us a jacket into the pen anything okay so you can take us but once we’re in that pen that’s it if the crew is seen doing anything like that our
Entire team will be disqualified okay so at the point where we’re really broken so that’s going to happen um and we come in and we say we just can’t go we just can’t do anymore you need to
Just put us on the start line it we don’t have to go you just need to put us on the start line where’s the pen, from this start line, we’re on it
So this area is the pen, so talking about the warning bell, that is going to sound at 3 minutes 2 minutes or 1 minute to so when that sounds at 3 minutes and that goes off that’s the perfect time to encourage us to
Get mobile again it could take that long for us to start moving so get us out of our chairs get as coherent as possible again yeah get us moving um and just keep normality in our Insanity okay
So routine is going to be great for us coming in and doing the same thing over and over again if someone says they want something next time so that we can write it down you
Supposed to either put down what I have had or what I’m saying I’d like and also I I don’t no one’s got any allergies or medical conditions that they’ve warned us about, me and gav are vegan
So there’s um loads of cooking stuff but if you could please for us make would just be so grateful [Music] oh thank you very much I’m Jadu, I’m Dave I’m from Denby, I’m Nikki I’m from Somerset and um I’m the owner of Flanci
I’m Amanda I’m married to Graham check on them see what they need and make sure they’ve got what whatever they want y ready in advance as well that we we’ve got stuff prepped for them yeah it’s really important to be proactive rather than reactive especially when you’re on the
Clock cuz we haven’t got time to respond to things we need to know what they need before they know they need it yeah so make sure they’ got hot drinks some food are there any niggles get them
Sorted make sure they’re going out warm enough um yeah and then getting them up ready moving before the uh the time whistle goes yep you’ve got a a separate tent haven’t you at the back so there’s sleeping bags, there is duvets for whoever needs it really
Got a beer tent ah it’s definitely isn’t it food drink rest warm drink keeping everyone warm and and moving yeah definitely and mentally spirits keep spirits up and recognizing when they want help and when they just need leaving I know and I’ve done Ultras sometimes I want to hug and there’s other
Times I’m just like leave me alone and it’s like Vic said earlier don’t take anything personally because there will be ratty and they will scream at us and you’ll think and that is to be expected because you go through all sorts of emotions you do so yeah we just be there for whatever
Lovely jublee welcome to the first ever Rasselbock backyard ultra um there’s a lot of you here 150 of you running today um so thank you all for coming along and supporting very very excited to see how you all do today I think we’ got uh quite a lot of fresh legs I think it’s
120 of you who are your first time backyarders uh so you’re going to have an awesome time [Music] How’s it going yeah it’s good it’s nice to start running we walk the first 3 minutes and then we really wanted to start running cuz we were getting cold but we got to walk we’re going to finish too fast Feel like I should run over the Finish line [Applause] I’m on less miles than it says so I’ve got out an ultra track so it I thought I was going a lot slower than I
Was so I kept like thinking oh no I’m slow I’m too slow I’m too slow whereas actually I’m way too fast so first lesson yeah first lesson is I don’t know how fast I’m going number one done done nice to see how the course lies as well in the first lap If anyone wants a sandwich when you come back next time tell us now and we’ll get them preppped, marmite for you, can i have the same actually do you know what that might have to happen yeah Pizza
So I’m Adam I’m from Basingstoke in Hampshire so I’m Emmie I am um a Ultra Runner this is my first uh backyard Ultra that I’ve ever done um I’m quite the fan of of loop races so uh
I’ve got high expectations to walk away from here loving it um yeah looking forward to a good good challenge I’m Graham I’m from bridgewater I’m Gavin i’m from Ipswich or Trimley St Wells which is near
To Ipswich I’m 42 years old and I’m here for the backyard Ultra hi um I’m Jenny um and I’m from North Wales so um yeah I’m used to running on hills and Offroad rather than on Forest tracks
And in the flat um I am Vic Izzy Owens also known as the happy Runner and I’m from North Wales And you have lovely little bits like this yeah just run the down hill, thats it i think in the later stages you going to have to use this to your benefit yeah I love I think you were filming my feet and I loved that and then I
Was sudden suddenly thinking about my feet I was like, don’t fall over, don’t fall over tequila welcome welcome back do we have to go over this one no Oh I thought that was the one okay all right
Oh can I grab one of those little pots to put in for gav lad one of these ones I got Munchies real early thank you yeah oh that’s close enough I’ve not had a tea with oat milk before no it’s fine it’s not it’s not a criticism Criticism 10 seconds um I think uh my number one my my top end goal would be get to 24 hours cuz that’s 100 miles and I like to do that I’ve done it a couple of times before but I to
Do it again um I think my backup goal is I’ve run one backyard before and I did 16 yards I like to do 17 yards and I think my my first goal at the absolute minimum is just honestly it’s just enjoy myself just got away from here being happy when I finished
The next round have some more water and active root with sachets in so one full sachet one full sachet full of water, that would be marvellous, what would you like next round do you know I’m alright thankyou just whatever
I don’t think i need anything i will just grab a bit of food I would like an active root please, do you have a bottle, no, yes i do find something somewhere I think I’m going to try and stay awake I’m I don’t even want
Five minutes I want to try and keep myself almost buzzing I want to kind of be awake enough that um I come in awake enough that I could go back out again and then I can just top myself back up
With sugar so I know it’s funny cuz I’ve got a map and every time I run in a county I colour it in and I’ve not done I’ve not done nottingamshire so i can tick this one off it’s actually quite nice
I want one of those if it wouldn’t disqualify us i’d have you in there, look, like that I would like to beat my own personal um uh time uh that I’ve been out running for for
Ultras I’d like to beat that as a time um I also would quite like to um be able to run all the way through the night so past my latest that I’ve ever been out for as well so either those could
Be my A or B either way around um and mostly just just break past the oh I’m tired oh I’m not sure I can go on when I probably just need to dig a bit deeper and uh yeah that’s all I
Need to do is is believe in myself I think um if I could I def I I definitely want to come out of here having completed the ultra so that would be uh eight Loops I think um if I could break the
18 barrier that would be really great um that’s that’s that’s my marker point is so making it to a 19th lap would be the one um and then like I said if I can go into the wee small hours of the morning
That would be the latest I’ve gone into the day so they might marry up quite nicely okay so I want to take it into past midnight maybe 2 3 in well 3 in the morning would be good yeah crazy to say it like that
Pot noodle and tea just make sure we got that So once that alarm goes we’ll hit that button and it sets it to the next hour so I think this next lap I think a few going to be asking for tops you know Yeah I I done It’s now now I’ve got a bit of a tight hip still alive yeah just about doing all right hanging in there lot of walking which I’m loving crazy cap lap yeah crazy cap lap, squidge in, squidge in, say crazy hats 1 2 3 jump [Laughter]
You need to get it at a jaunty angle i was thinking that, you look like the eccentric guy in town that you tell your kids not to talk to A goal is is to just go until I drop pretty much um I did want to do 48 hours but I’ve not
Trained half enough and I suppose B and C goals is just carry on going I’ve never done this kind of event in the real I’ve done it on a treadmill which is a totally different
Ball game it’s awful I’ve got a plan first 6 hours is to go as slow as I can and I’m planning on coming in at 57 58 minutes so I’m not having to stop I know I can run for 6 hours and it’s not
Particularly pacy whilst you’re fresh it’s I can walk the distance why I’m fresh so I’m going to use that why I can um and then I’ll have to dig deep after that and obviously slow down cuz when you think you’re running really quick you probably not you you end up
Running a lot slower than what you believe you are so we just have to go with the flow really Vic would you like anything I’m kind of hungry so could next time could I have a pasta pot yes and then I’ll just grab a little snack take with me next time have yet so I’ve done lots of um races
That this event company puts on so I ran a lot of um loops around here and done like six hours events with them but not actually ran uh the route that we’re going to do today
What can I get you hi viz and torches, he said its recommended on this one but not mandatory 2 minutes guys do you want some cold water in there that’s fine I’m good I’ve got an
Asbestos mouth can you find my hand torches for me I don’t need until the next lap i got this No my sock had folded over and i forgot to do it until like the last minute as the bell went off, god i haven’t changed my socks first backyard it’s my first backyard um I’ve run in the forest here
Before done a few like lapped events 6 hour events but it will be my first time going longer distance than what I’ve done before okay so you’re going to aim to do more than the 6 hours definitely
More than the 6 hours um no real plan of how far I’m going to go I’m going to run like I’m going to win unrealistic I know but at least I don’t have that deadline where I pass say 24 hours
And I want to quit because I’ve reached my goal so I’m just going to keep running until I can’t run anymore okay so you’ve got an A goal and it’s to not stop my A goal is to not stop pretend like
I’m going to win think this is lap six maybe lap five lap six around about there anyway we’ve done 21 miles at the moment so that’s five laps down so this be lap six yeah that makes sense
Yeah cool feeling good yeah for 21 miles 21 miles it doesn’t seem like 21 miles to be fair it’s been really casual lots of walking like I’m going to walk walk now but I’ve noticed each time that
This group of people on the Hill are getting closer at the start of each lap and I’ve not changed the way I’m running so I’m guessing everyone’s starting to slow down a little bit maybe yeah I notice what you’re saying the seems like we’re getting into the group now that’s a good
Indicator that that is we’re not tiring at all we’ve been coming in similar sort of time each lap so so far so good we’ve had time to eat and do whatever we need to before getting out
The darkness is on its way yeah any minute now but all is good well it is in my little world at the moment yeah definitely feeling good, don’t feel like i’ve started running yet
It’s going alright actually I’m in a pretty good mood which I think probably the best the first thing probably to go for me is probably my mood So because I’m using hammer nutrition it’s liquid based so I’m not actually taking on any real real food as such which will give my gut um it’ll keep it relaxed hopefully so I’m not putting any GI
Pressure on me at all cuz there’s no solid food in I’ve got for me to have to digest and things so hopefully that plan works and we go from there but if not then it’ll be plan B plan C and live on the hoof as it were
Why would they call this vegan, because its beef flavoured a noodle or a pasta next lap please does it matter what one adam, erm they’re making me a coffee I’ve only ever done Ultras really um on my own before running through hills so
To do something that’s a um that’s a loop is really quite different and I’m you know that that kind of constant speed we’ll see how it goes um my absolute minimum is to do marathon because I can’t do a backyard ultra and then not do an ultra is
My thought process how many laps is that I don’t know a few [Laughter] this is our marathon lap it is, marathon and ultra if you are not paying attention you hit it with half your foot you are going to fall over I was a bit nervous about running through here with all of these roots yeah um and you know you change your footing don’t you and I was like hmmm do I I just walk you know in the end but feeling comfortable so I’m just going to go with
What feels right at the moment and uh no grumbly tummy so I’m feeding okay yeah all chipper Oh I’ve got plenty of time to get back I’ve been trying to keep it consistent that was a little bit quicker than the last one not by much maybe 30 seconds or something [Music] six out
It’s fine I’ll be fine cuz my Garin will tell me when when I’m there um then after that it would be amazing if I could get to 100K which will be 3:00 in the morning I know that goal so
I guess that’s my real goal really I just don’t I really don’t know if I can do it I’ve run that distance once before um so but obviously that was at my own speed I could have a slower round and a
Faster round so yeah we’ll see so you’re not from here no no I’m from North Wales I live just around the corner from Vic oh okay so we met because I fan girled her outside my front door when she walk
Past one day very lovely this is what crewings all about this is the one time where we don’t actually want our runners to come in whats the time 8:00 so 50k at the end of this they’ll have done 50k amazing yeah oh so what else Emmie asked for
Again I don’t want to go route to the nerve vaseline okay yeah end of lap 8 I think quite possibly looks that way end of lap 8 thank you another one in the bag well done is good night yeah that was a tough one that
Yeh that was a tough one that one, we got 5 minutes four minutes now [coughs] Vic do you want to put this over your legs you’re going to get cold, 2 minutes do you want anything next lap, erm no ive still got mash
Dave can I have a coffee for next lap please, and me torches you got torches, its how it goes isn’t it, everything can change [Applause] got the famous we’ve got the famous Graham, this little bit, this bits always the coldest bit
Oh so here we are I think we’re lap nine we lap nine there we go that’s it lap nine what’s that distance I oh no idea but I can tell you that I am now a backyard Ultra Runner I’ve done it because that’s six is your marathon and ultra
My absolute top goal and I literally only have one there’s no B or C is to be timed out that is my goal for this event I do not want to finish this event sat in my
Tent not going out and trying again I want to be timed out that that is my goal that’s what I’ve been training for, timing out means that um I don’t make it back in time to do
Another lap so I I put it all out there yeah I I die on the course that’s the plan that’s needs updating it’s not updated we are now down to 113 remaining i think they are all doing really well and everyone looks really cheerful
Vic’s eating well Gavs eating I didn’t even see Adam go past he’s like the wind Well done Gav coffee time for sure this is a golden syrup porridge I’m having a love love affair with how you feeling

Oh it’s mad how that little stop makes you so stiff it does it makes you stiff it really makes you cold and then right in the top of my groin I think it’s from going slow trying to power
Walk more which was a good idea, was our best idea I think it’s just I haven’t run enough as well to give it a stretch but then cuz it was going slow was getting colder and colder excellent thanks very much get that planted and permanent reminder of what
You managed today how big does it grow uh us is it one of those monsters so don’t plant it right next to my house when people start dropping and there’s less to deal with it becomes easier for us and easier for them as well cuz it’s quite congested in

You’re in the top 10 you are now officially in the top 10 oh I can go home you need to eat your mashed potato three minutes [Applause] its getting hard now mate might need a little nap I think, ok lets get you in here then i’m pretty sleepy, not feeling that

It’s a weird one right because I said my our only goal was to be timed out but we we didn’t know if we were going to get to 24 and now we’re doing 30 and I’m like this isn’t
My A race the tunnel is my A race and Gav you’re feeling it aren’t you yeah I just don’t want to keep on coming out coming out and coming out for the sake of it I’m quite happy with where we are I don’t think I’m in
The position to carry on running another four or five laps to find out that everyone else is really comfortable I feel like I’ve got a lot more run in me um like I’ve struggled
Going slow for these two laps I think that hurts me um but kind of feel like even though we’ve been running solo we’re here as a team I I don’t want to carry on without you so I said to Gav do you think
We could do another two we’ll do it together um and 30 is it’s a good number right all the numbers so this is 30 this is it yeah we just need to finish this currently on 121.6 Miles I’m on 1.3 miles I’m super proud of us us
[Music] nice way to finish, yeah, nice way to DNF that well done well well well well done well done come on you got to get going again we’re done [Music] Chin up lads, eh you’ve just ran an ultra Looks like Vic and Gav are done tapping out at 30 completed waiting for a Rasselbock cup of tea 10 seconds guys and er Karen [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Laughter] Well done, go Karen, i’m going to go for Karen 1 2 3 jump

Excited to see how you all get on! Go vegans!
Had the pleasure of meeting Vic & Gav at the Hope Festival this July 🤩 Brilliant content as always !! 👊👍
Well done guys 👏 Great job 🌱💪🥰
I managed 31 yards in Scotland 22/7/23 – vegan power 🥰
Love these guys! Jenny was an absolute trooper 😀
Really great doc!
Really well shot and put together, in a way that’s engaging even for non runners. Thanks very much for an awesome film.
Incredible storytelling and even more incredible characters. Thank you for sharing the stories of some awesome people in such a lovely way. The evolving head photos were a really nice touch. Love this channel and when I can I’ll try and join the Patreon to support.
Great watch, thanks very much x
Superb video 👍👏👏👏
This film really captures the warmth and spirit of these inspirational people. Great content as always!
Oi oi Kelp & Fern. Loving the Guy Richie vibes with this one
This is a wonderful film and an awesome event! I was on the registration desk, and then at Marshal Point 3 for the first few hours, and it was a pleasure chatting to these guys as they went passed each lap.
It was lovely to see how they all progressed in this film – I'd seen the results at the time, but the results never tell the whole story, and this was brilliant!
colossal film!
Loving this video and the raw emotion that such an event can induce. Everyone in it did absolutely amazing, it was so inspirational. These videos only serves to fuel my desire to finally run a backyard ultra. Thank you Kelp and Fern. Keep up the good work.
Liked this but would have liked to see the end as respect to the last runners… Vic had way more in her but stopped which was admirable. Well done all.
After running my first Back Yard Ultra I can't stop watching these videos. Good job team.
Liked the video and thought you all did so well but would have liked to have seen the end and also did make me cringe a bit with a lack of manners from one person.
Harvey Lewis (ultra Yard record holder) hes vegan, these two vegan, theres something in the plants 💚🥦🥬
Great video. Had an enjoyable treadmill workout watching this, and that's a high compliment!
Loved this – way to go all 🙂
This is a great video Martin, I'm watching it for the third time now. Taking on Rasselbock myself next week and this is a great video to help me prepare!
Bright squad crew are true heroes!…so much love and care they gave to the running team…you are lucky to have such a great bunch. I loved every bit of this video. Alos moved my ass a little bit the next day and ran 50K…thank you!
Another great documentary thank you – I am sure I watched a previous one with Vic the Happy Runner in it ?
