TRAIL RUNNING EVENTS
We just love trail 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 exciting for those of you with the determination, mental strength and physical prowess to push yourself to the limit of endurance.
OUR RUNS ARE challenging, interesting (with fantastic views), varied in terrain, attractive to foreign ultra runners and famous for their excellent organisation and support (see 'what you think of us' tab to the left.
DO NOT underestimate the challenges of these kind of runs. They are very hard indeed and our events are designed to ensure that only those with real determination who have the physical and mental capacity can finish them in the time limits. If you are up to this challenge, please join us. Contact us on info@extremerunning.org for more details.
Our runs are not sign-posted because we believe that is unsightly and environmentally unfriendly and we expect you to be largely self-sufficient and be able to navigate - that being part of the challenge. However, we have paramedics, marshals and support crew, water, food and transport in the event something goes wrong for you on the day.
We are currently planning our ultra trail runs for the coming year with the emphasis on balancing beautiful settings with really significant physical challenges and maximum enjoyment.
Our main event is the sensational and classic 57(ish) mile (93k) London to Brighton trail run through London, Kent, Surrey and Sussex - the ultimate and most famous ultra run in the country. Beware of imitations. This is the real event that attracts international runners, experienced ultra runners but welcome newcomers too. We assist our runners to understand endurance running and, for those less experienced, help them to be competent navigators.
If you love ultra running (or if you want to try it), we provide the opportunity for you to push yourself to the limits of your endurance. All we ask of you is to enter, train hard and run your heart out on the day. We will provide you with drinks, food and shelter where necessary, emergency support and everything else you expect from a major event, plus advice and ongoing support to help you to succeed. Moreover, you will find us welcoming with a refreshing absence of corporate arrogance as we are just runners ourselves.
Our runs are really spectacular events, now forming an established part of the ultra running calendar in the UK and Europe and our name isa synonymous with high standards of organisation and support. They are also excellent physical and mental training for the Western States, Marathon des Sables, Ghobi March, The North Face® Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc® or other ultra or multi-stage events, that you can slot into your training schedules.
