Backyard Race Team
Teamwork first — we race Spartan in the UK (and beyond) with grit, laughs, and support for every athlete.
Who We Are
We’re a supportive unit of obstacle course racers. We train together, travel together, and make sure no one starts — or finishes — alone.
Rebrand: formerly Playground Race Team, we’ve stepped into 2026 as Backyard Race Team — a fresh identity, refined kit, and the same community-first values.
What We Stand For
- Team over ego — help first, celebrate everyone
- Consistency beats intensity — sustainable progress
- Race globally, root locally — mainly UK Spartan
- Accessible to all levels — from first timers to elites
