The Spring Trail Series 50km was such a great event. For many of us it was the first race back after a long hiatus and in true Ultra X style it did not disappoint. Fabulous course, incredible support from all the staff and volunteers but most importantly, it’s the Ultra X running community that makes it such a warm and accepting environment regardless of your background.

The Spring Trail Series 100km in April was the first time I’d entered a race organised by Ultra X and I can’t speak highly enough of the event, the route, and organisation behind it. From the moment you enter, through to the regular detailed updates and the race itself you can tell how much thought and planning has gone into it, really impressive and means that as a runner all you need to think about on the day is putting one foot in front of the other and having fun! Whenever I spoke to a member of staff or volunteer they couldn’t do enough to help, did so with a smile which created such a welcoming atmosphere that perfectly captures what trail running should be about. Ultra X have set the benchmark for how a trail race should be run! Paul D

The mini 21km trail run I did was the absolute highlight of the month, the Ultra X team did such a great job in helping us not only to prepare but to anticipate in every way in advance. The race was just perfect – great location, great transport connection, fantastic atmosphere which eventually attracted fantastic runners. Zita G

The Spring Trail Series had everything you could ever want from a trail run. From the views to the vibes, this Ultra X event, as usual, didn’t disappoint! Starting and finishing from the same point, the location was perfect, and the course sublime. Plenty of runnable trails, and a good helping of mud to keep it fun! 10/10 – would run again! James C

Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
