I have been fortunate to experience amazing running all over the UK and beyond but nothings ever quite the same as my beloved trails at home.
I have always been active within the community crewing and pacing for friends and volunteering and course marking for loads of different events.
It always feels great to give back in running especially when its given me so much.
our promise to you
our goal is highlight and link together the BEST trails Essex has to offer via a series of races with an emphasis on furthering the trail running and ultra community which has long been the most welcoming and inclusive in running.
Growing up on the district's trails has given me so much and hopefully this can be a way of giving something back.
we aim to provide well marked events at the lowest cost possible.
all money raised through entries will go back into future events and donations towards maintaining local permissive ways.
want to support us? buy something from the online store. this allows us to keep entry costs at a pound a mile or cheaper making racing as accessible as possible.
all our events will be single use plastic free. all signage will be 100% reusable.
you don't leave a trace and neither will we.
