Retreat details
Are my weekend trail running retreats suited to you?
- My retreats cater for keen runners who enjoy running hard and pushing their limits.
- You should be confident and comfortable clocking up approx 40-45k across the weekend (Friday evening - Sunday Afternoon).
- You should be able to confidently road run 5k in ~22 mins, 10k in ~45 mins and a half marathon in 1h 45mins.
- Most of my retreat participants are keen road runners based in Bristol, Exeter and even London, who fancy a weekend away to try their hand (or legs) at some trail running whilst also detaching from city life.
The Retreat Runs
- Each weekend retreat includes 3 runs:
- A 10k medium paced run on Friday evening (details of Friday's run)
- A 21k harder run on Saturday midmorning (details of Saturday's run)
- A slower 10k recovery run/walk on Sunday morning (details of Sunday's run)
The Retreat Size
- There is a maximum of 5 runners per weekend retreat (including me, Ollie).
Travel
- Most runners drive down to Cornwall on Friday afternoon and check-in to their accommodation before the Friday evening run which we normally do at ~18:30.
- Getting the train is another option.
- I'm happy to pick you up from your accommodation and take you to and from all 3 runs across the weekend.
- If you'd rather, you can drive and can meet me and the other runners at each run location.
Accommodation
- Its up to you where you stay, however if you would like lifts to and from the runs then please choose accommodation in the Hayle area.
- Here are some accommodation options:
Retreat Cost
- You decide on your preferred method of travel and accommodation.
- I charge a one off run guide/hosting fee of £100 per runner (including transfers to each run)
What about the time when you're not running?
- Outside of the runs, the time is yours to do as you please but I would recommend taking in some of the local Cornish beauty. You can see all my recommendations using this link
- After the Saturday run, its pretty common that runners join me for lunch but its entirely up to you. Some runners prefer to head off and do some solo exploring and other runners who have travelled down with a partner prefer to head off and spend time with them.
