Round The Island Isle of Wight Multistage Ultra
June 19th to 20th 2010
69 miles 2 days

Read of event reports for the
Extreme Energy Round The Island multistage ultra that followed the Isle of Wight Coastal Path.

The Round The Island sailing race is an annual, famous event which up to 2000 boats take part in every year, from professional races on huge yachts to amateurs and families on their smaller boats. So we thought wouldn’t it be fun to run a Round The Island Race on the same weekend. The event meant running clockwise round the island which meant that amongst the stunning views of the main land and the English Channel competitors would be able to see all the boats come around the Island as the afternoon went on.

The Fan Dance - Pen-y-fan
Ultimate Test of Mental and Physical Endurance
May 22nd– 23rd 2010

Read our event report for the Extreme Energy "Fan Dance" Challenge, the ultimate test of mental and physical endurance running / walking or crawling up the highest peak in the Brecon Beacons.  The Brecon Beacon National Park hosted the event and is one of the most beautiful areas in the country with stunning views from every angle.

Competitors climbed to the top of Pen-y-fan and then down to 3 different checkpoints, as many times as they could and be back to the start within 5 hours. This route and the peak of Pen-y-fan are very familiar to the British Army as this event is very similar to one of the main tests that our special forces have to pass.

Wendover Woods Family Adventure Challenge

The weather was very kind to us for this event. The weather was looking a little suspect to start with, but then it started to improve and finished as a fabulous day.

All teams competed at the level they wanted to, some teams competing really hard for top honours whilst some just enjoyed the day out.
 

 


 
 

New Forest Family Adventure Challenge “Bolderwood”
September 12th 2009

Last weekend saw the New Forest Family Adventure Challenge take place on a beautiful sunny day. The location was perfect for the event and everyone who came said how much they enjoyed themselves, young and older alike.

Bolderwood was the perfect location for this Challenge. This was a brand new location for our Family Adventure Challenges and it proved to be a great success with this event. Bolderwood is a well known location because of the numerous tracks / paths and the deer sanctuary. Bolderwood has something different to give to every competitor and all this is set in the beautiful surroundings of The New Forest.

The Marathon Des Sables
March 2007

Running 240kms across the Sahara Desert in 40 – 50 degrees of heat carrying all you need to survive on for 7 days is an awesome challenge, but one I fancied taking on. In March 2007 I entered the “allegedly” toughest foot race on earth, the Marathon Des Sables...
