What to expect
More than just another race.
Every Runningmonk event is designed around one simple idea: every runner deserves to feel welcome.
From the moment you arrive, you'll find friendly volunteers, clearly marked routes, well-stocked checkpoints and plenty of encouragement along the way. Whether you cross the finish line first or last, you'll receive exactly the same welcome home.
Because the memories you'll take away won't just come from the trails - they'll come from the people who shared them with you.

Testimonials
What runners say
Runners who felt unsure, new to the scene, or returning after a break - and found encouragement every step of the way.
"I had no idea where to start for my first 50k, and most events had a cut-off that scared me off. Runningmonk was different - no cut-off, no pressure, just a warm welcome and the confidence that the finish line would still be waiting for me. I crossed it, and I have never looked back." - Kathy
"After years of injuries I had started to hate running, but the Runningmonk events brought the joy right back. Whatever your pace, you are cheered on and made to feel like you belong - I soon signed up for my first ultra marathon and could not believe I was that runner." - Janey
"The volunteers at Runningmonk are absolutely amazing - cheering you on at every checkpoint, whether you are leading the field or at the very back of the pack. That support got me to the finish on my toughest day, and it is exactly why I keep coming back." - Dean
