Now two guys in the U.K. have done 80 laps and broken a world record. Crazy! Were they always a thing or has Covid made them more popular?
Sam Jelfs Jun 2021 5:54am, 9 Jun 2021 944 posts	0 Sam Jelfs I think Laz's / Bigs backyard was the original in 2011, and a few others popped up but it's gone crazy since 2018 or so... statistik.d-u-v.org And that is only the events with backyard in the name, I know of some in the same format but not in that list as they done explicitly call themselves the "something backyard" race.
