from £680.00

If the cabin orientation you’re after isn’t available, get in touch and we’ll do our best to fit you in.

Spend a weekend immersed in ultra-running, featuring scenic trails, delicious food, and invaluable insights into training and racing. Enjoy guided runs through the breathtaking Quantock Hills, including a Sunday long run complete with a pop-up aid station to keep you fueled. Between runs, take advantage of Pilates, strength and conditioning, and stretching sessions, all specifically designed to enhance your performance and aid recovery. In the evenings, Fi will share her wealth of experience in ultra-marathon racing, offering practical tips on nutrition, training strategies, and preparing for your next big adventure.

Who is this for?

This camp is ideal for runners with trail experience who are looking to push the distance. Participants should be comfortable(ish) running a flat marathon without stopping. Our runs will be at a relaxed pace, with options to shorten the distance if needed. On the longer runs, we’ll take breaks for photos and snacks, ensuring an enjoyable and supportive experience for everyone.
