What our clients say

Testimonials

A brilliant ultra through beautifulNottinghamshire countryside. Friendly, well-organised, eco-conscious with clearand helpful communication from the event organisers in the lead up. Anall-round great day. I will definitely be back at some point over the comingyears!

Ellie S - Dukeries 40

This was my second time doing this race andit was just as good as the first. Ronnie and his squad of volunteers make thissuch a fun and friendly race, and a great introduction to Ultra's if you'venever completed one before. If anyone is looking for their first, or even justa fun day out I would highly recommend Dukeries.

Daniel B - Dukeries 30

This is an amazing event with such a goodfeel to it. From Ronnie, the organiser, to all the Marshalls and runners thereis a real community spirit. It’s a great route and very well marked with plentyof aid stations all stocked. If you are looking for a first 100 event then thiswould be an ideal choice.

Roger C - Robin Hood 100

Robin Hood 100 was a dream come true formyself. Finishing my first 100 mile run and it would not have been possiblewithout the amazing volunteers and race organisers who put together such a wellthought and navigated/marked out route. The route is pretty flat which is idealfor those first timers or runners looking for a PB. Will be back in 2026 forsure. Thanks Ronnie and the Hobo team!
