Ultra-Runners and Multi-day Race SEMINAR

Kent Enterprise House is the venue for the  seminar on Saturday 6th March

"It is not the critic who counts, nor the person who points out how the strong stumble, or when the doer of deeds could have done them better".

Venue for the events is The Gate Inn Marshside Nr Canterbury CT3 4EB

The Challenges are not races. They have a simple purpose: to give individuals the opportunity to take on a challenge that tests both mental and physical fortitude in a safe, well organised environment.

Everyone who takes part in any one of our Challenges is a winner...no matter how far they get. Everyone who completes a Challenge gets the same medal regardless of the ‘position’ in which they finish.

We are committed to making everyone feel welcome and cared for, whilst remembering that the Challenges are tough and are probably going to cause most people a degree of pain and discomfort. However, we also believe that everyone who takes up a Challenge will know more about themselves when they finish than they did when they started. Whilst we do our best to offer every encouragement possible to help you achieve the objective ultimately it will be your mental and physical strengths that carry you through.

Online entries are now possible through the Sandbaggers shop so entering the 50 Mile or any of our other Challenges couldn’t be easier.

What are the Challenges?  The Challenges are organised runs/walks that take place in Kent. They can be a great way of training for more demanding adventure races, they can just be fun, or also a vehicle for raising money for a charity/good cause of your choosing.

What are the routes like?  The 50 Mile Challenge consists of a safe 6.55 mile course (total distance: 52.4 miles to be completed in under 15hrs) which allows competitors the option of dropping out whenever they wish. The course record is 7hrs 1min! The routes are signed and marshalled with first aid and water stations provided. [ Read more ]

Other products supplied are those which they are happy to endorse as fit for purpose.
