TRIBE Ultra Training Weekend | Lake District

In 2013, TRIBE Co-Founders (Tom, Guy and Rob) completed the first Run for Love – a 1,000 mile run across Europe, from Odessa to Dubrovnik, to set up the first home for trafficked children in the UK. This was the journey that inspired TRIBE.

This October, we're bringing the tribe together for the sixth edition of the epic Run for Love series; 200 km+ across the desert in Namibia. Together, we will push the limits of human endurance and run to fight modern slavery. Join us for an epic ultra training weekend in the lead up to the challenge! This is open to anyone, whether you're signed up for Run For Love or not. 

We're heading to Keswick with H2 Coaching for fantastic trail running in spectacular scenery, hearty meals and time well spent with friends old and new. 

We look after runners of all experiences and abilities and have a fantastic array of coaching talent to accompany us along the way! We'll have three guided runs in the plan, from a scenic amble on the first evening, to ticking off leg one of the epic Bob Graham round on Saturday and then onto some of the most gorgeous valleys/fells before heading home on Sunday!
