Extreme Running

We love running and are constantly looking for new and exciting challenges for ourselves and others. To this end we have put together ultra-running events that we know will be of interest to those of you with the determination, mental strength and physical prowess to push yourself to the limit of endurance.

We have five ultra runs currently planned for the coming year with the emphasis on balancing beautiful settings with significant but safe physical challenges and maximum enjoyment. Whether it is the 30 mile Doyen of the Downs in December, next year's Great Escape (45 miles solely or in a relay), the 56 mile (90k) London to Brighton trail run, the 100 mile (161k) London circular  relay (the LOOP) or the 120 mile (193k) Coast to Coast across Cumbria and Northumberland (to be expanded to 175 miles in 2009), if you love endurance (ultra) running, we will chalenge and look after you.

All you have to do is enter, train really good and hard and then run your heart out. We will provide you with drinks, food and shelter where necessary, everything else you expect from a major event plus advice and support to help you to succeed. Moreover, you will find us welcoming and polite, whilst professional, with a refreshing absence of corporate arrogance.

Our runs are excellent physical and mental training for the Marathon des Sables, Ghobi March or other multi-stage ultra events. However, we think these are thoroughly worthwhile events in their own right to complement or compete with any endurance events currently on the ultra running calendar in the UK or elsewhere. 

One of our problems over the years has been finding the time and the venues to get the gear needed to complete an event. We have been searching for appropriate kit for you this year and obtained some very good prices on a lot of products. Take a look at the shopping link for more information (this will take you to the Fitness Training Specialists shop). 

Click on the event(s) you are interested in to read more. Whether you are a beginner, ultra marathon runner or a seasoned veteran, we would love to see you at one or more of our Extreme Running events in the coming year. 

If you have any questions at all, just email us on info@extremerunning.org and/or register and post on the message board.
