The Great Buddhist Trek & Marathon is a unique event not to be missed!

I will let this year’s runners do the speaking for me:

“It was easy to “list” the trip as the best holiday I can ever remember ….. by a long way”

“It was honestly a really unique experience, and I will be basking in the warmth of the Nepalese people we met in the villages for weeks to come”.

“That was a truly humbling and amazing experience; we have such a great bunch of people on the event that made it even more special”

“You must be so proud of what you’ve created with Binay. It really is the most unbelievable experience, and we were so honoured to be part of it”.

“It was unlike any trip I have ever been on, and I am thoroughly in awe of the people I met and the work you are all doing out there”.

“Thank you one and all, it’s been a privilege to do this amazing trip with you. It was beyond our expectations in every way”.

“What an amazing and profound week. Utterly humbled by everything I’ve seen and everyone I’ve met I’ve been to a lot of places and met a lot of people, but the last week has been something truly special and exceptional”

Farnborough Winter Half Marathon & 5K
2024-01-21 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/London) | Farnborough Business Park, The Hub, Business Park, Fowler Ave, Farnborough GU14 7JP, UK
Entry for the 2024 Farnborough Winter Half Marathon will open on March 1. There is a limit of 2500 entries in the event.

Entries sold out in November 2022 for 2023, so enter early to guarantee your place in the field.

In 2023, the Farnborough Winter Half Marathon once again took place on its traditional date at the end of January. After a brief sojourn as a summer Half in 2021 we really enjoy returning to a winter event permanently again. For those who remember the icy chill conditions of the inaugural event in 2017 or the snow of 2018, the weather in 2023 was just as cold! There were some phenomenal times, at the front and all the way down the field: there were four runners (in 2022) under 65 minutes – all inside the old course record – and nearly 200 inside 90 minutes. This year’s race was no different with more extremely fast times across the board!

Farnborough is generally the first major half marathon of the season so the weather will always be a roll of the dice in January, but now we know just how fast the route is, we expect it to be even more popular than usual. The 2024 race is confirmed as a qualifying race for the England Athletics Masters Programme, giving Masters Athletes an opportunity to earn their England Age Group Masters vest. See here for more details.

For those of you not familiar with the route, it is a fast, largely flat, traffic-free course, starting and finishing at the historic Airship Hangar adjacent to Farnborough Airport. It is the same route as the previous three editions, taking in a delightful semi-rural circuit which broadly circles Farnborough airport in an anti-clockwise direction.

From its inception in 2017, the event has been very popular with local runners and those from further afield looking for an early race to test their winter fitness. The main race is limited to 2500 runners and generally sells out early so don’t delay if you are thinking of running. Entries will be closed when we have reached our limit. Since it helps with our planning we incentivize you to enter early:

Super Early Bird

First 500 entries (or up to May 31, 2023, at the latest) UKA Affiliated £28 Non-Affiliated £30

Early Bird

Next 1000 entries (or up to September 30, 2023, at the latest) UKA Affiliated £33 Non-Affiliated £35

Standard Entry

Until the event reaches its limit of 2500 entries UKA Affiliated £38 Non Affiliated £40

As in 2024, the event will also incorporate a 5K, which uses part of the same route, starting 20 minutes after the half marathon. That in turn is followed by a children’s run, a free-to-enter 800m Fun Run on an out-and-back section of the first part of the half marathon course.

LONGLEAT 10K, WILTS 2024
2024-01-28 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/London) | Longleat House, Warminster BA12 7NW, UK, United Kingdom
If you’re looking for a traffic-free 10K in a stunning setting, then look no further than the Longleat 10K; starting in front of the magnificence of Longleat House, the race takes in the estates’ private and traffic-free roads, with only a short excursion of 400m on public highways as you pass the Bath Arms Public House before the final mile downhill to the finish.

The route is undulating to hilly, with a significant climb tackled twice: once soon after the start and the second towards the end. Your reward for that second climb though is the final downhill run along Lodge Drive towards Longleat House and the finish.

For children and family or friends, we welcome you to enter the Longleat 2-Mile Fun Run. This popular support event covers the first lap of the 10K up the hill through to the Bath Arms finishing with the magnificent run down Lodge Drive before crossing the line.

Entries will close when we reach the entry limit of 1600 runners in the 10K (the 2-mile race is limited to 100 runners)

Start time 10 am (for both 10K and 2 miles – 2-mile runners finish after the first lap)

24hr Swim Relay: Box End Park
2024-02-01 08:00 - 17:00 (Europe/London)
A unique, team endurance swimming challenge for all abilities. Gather a team of between 1 to 8 swimmers and swim for an hour each, for 24 hours!

OVERVIEWYou swim as much as you want, as fast as you want.

This event is unique in being a personal/team endurance swimming challenge rather than about speed or distance. It’s also for everyone over the age of 14, regardless of your ability. It’s not a race, no one is being timed or tracked.

HIGHLIGHTS

THE GLASTONBURY OF SWIMMINGIt felt like a swimming festival, like a Glastonbury with open water rather than bands. The community spirit really made it something special.

UNIQUE AND PERSONALThe event itself is unique in being a personal/team endurance challenge rather than about speed or distance, and although a few teams clearly wanted to be competitive, the team was fantastic in promoting the inclusive, not a race, message.

THE ATMOSPHEREThe atmosphere was brilliant. The nighttime swims really are so special but also getting to swim together as a team was brilliant. The event staff maintained their energy throughout, which helped when we were flagging.

SUCH A JOYThe weekend was such a joy to be a part of – seeing all these people come together to do something uplifting and for such an amazing cause creates the best buzz. It’s so relaxed and easygoing, everyone knows where to be and when, and it all just runs smoothly.

CHEER THE NIGHTI loved the camaraderie, with people cheering on everyone, even at 2 am. The people were all so lovely, and it’s such an incredible community to be part of – watching everyone going in for that last hour made me emotional!

TOP ORGANISATION10 minutes before the hour, you can start the changeover. It was nice and smooth. The uniqueness is the 24-hour part. I think it’s amazing.

This legendary trail is a MUST DO on your MTB bucket list, and Stage 3 Snowies Legends Descent is the only time you can experience, without interruption, the pure exhilaration of 42km of sheer Mountain Bike heaven from top to bottom.

Throughout the stages, immerse yourself in the Thredbo Valley as you traverse the banks of the Thredbo River on super fun trails that climb and descend on an epic high-country roller-coaster ride. Ride the trails overlooking Lake Jindabyne, and take in the snow gum forests pierced by crystal clear mountain streams as well as Alpine meadows and granite outcrops. And even race our very own ‘Man from Snowy River’ on the trail network from Lake Crackenback Resort, the launchpad, to some of the world’s best rideable terrain.

Forget the tarmac and gravel. This is unadulterated mountain bike heaven in the heart of the Snowies.

A STAGE RACE… WITH EPIC RIDING… BUT NO LABOROIOUS TRAVEL AND MOVING?
That’s right you asked, and the Snowies have delivered. This world class riding is all within a 18km radius.

Enjoy time with your mates, make some new ones and share your war stories over a bevvy or two.

We all agree, a beer and pizza always tastes so much better surrounded by your best mates, a mountain vista and fresh mountain air, after a big day pushing out the k’s on the trails.

PHOENIX Fridays – Pyjama Friday
2024-03-08 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/London)
Continuing the ‘PHOENIX Fridays’ – a series of Friday running events with flexible ‘rock up and run’ start times to suit you, here’s our ‘Pyjama Friday’ – Thank Phoenix, it’s Friday!.

These events are a little smaller than our weekend events, and the entry fee is a little less than our standard themed entry, but with no compromise on our legendary medals. We’ll have a selection of our usual big, bold, bright and epic bling for you to choose from at each of the PHOENIX Fridays, and if there’s a specific medal you’ve been after for a while or one you missed out on from one of our previous events then just drop us an email, and we’ll see if we can bring that one along for you.

The PHOENIX Fridays are a series of our timed events where you choose – from 5km to 10k, half to marathon to ultra. You can complete as many, or as few, laps as you like of a 5.3km, 3.28 mile, out and back, course along the beautiful river Thames. We welcome all abilities of runners – complete one lap, and you’re both a finisher and a winner in our eyes or keep going and see how far you can get in the full time limit and everyone gets a fabulous bespoke finishers’ medal from our awesome selection.

Not sure? Well, the beauty of this format is that you don’t even need to decide in advance � simply come and run a lap and see how you feel on the day and keep on going if it feels right.

Places will be strictly limited, so don’t leave it too late to enter.

Minimum distance is 3.28 miles or as far as you can go in 7 hours. Off the road trail, the terrain is a riverside towpath. The overall course has no elevation gain/loss making this a flat and fast route.

We provide a physical running service and by entering our events, you are purchasing an actual run, either by attending our events or by running the event virtually yourself. All participants in our events, both attended and virtual, will receive a free giveaway medal/memento from your run.

FROZEN LAKE RUN, MARATHON AND HALF MARATHON
2024-03-24 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/London) | Tisela Fjord ifjorden, United Kingdom
The Frozen Lake Marathon and Half Marathon is a unique running event, it’s the only one we know about that is run entirely on water. Fortunately, the waters of the Tisela Fjord in Norway at the end of March are frozen, so it’s less challenging than it could be. But it’s still a challenge. Running on snow and ice is a skill in itself but one that you can quickly master.
It’s one lap of the 21.1k course for the half-marathon or twice around if you are running the full marathon. The Icebug Frozen Lake Marathon is limited to 500 runners of all abilities. Once you’ve mastered ice running you should be able to cover the distance quickly because this is the flattest race you’ll ever run and an experience you’ll never forget.
Tisela Fjord Jorden is located 819 meters above sea level in the Norwegian municipalities of Gol and Hemsedal, which is 200K north of Oslo.
For the most part, the ice on the lake is about 80 cm thick – with a carrying capacity of up to 30 tons. The course is plotted by a support team of ice experts who monitor the lake closely in the days leading up to the event and throughout the race. For maximum safety, the final course is laid out just days before the race starts. Among other things, the lake is used for testing vehicle tires, emergency vehicles, and drivers who want to test their skills in icy conditions, so it’s not going to struggle to support the weight of 500 runners!
Transport from Oslo
We have a dedicated bus transfer that will take you from Oslo airport to the hotel Oset, the race HQ and your base throughout your four-night stay in Norway
