Our latest group of Test Pilots are currently out in Easter Island recceing our brand new ultra adventure 🙌

Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui, rises mysteriously from the Pacific, some 2000km off the Chilean coast. It is remote, surreal and tropical, made all the more evocative by the gigantic and unusual monoliths that flank its shores, gazing out to sea.

The Moai statues are world-famous and are thought to have been created by the Rapa Nui people between AD 1250 and 1500. Our new event seeks to weave together key sites on the island on foot as one massive ultra outing. This is a world-first and one we are incredibly excited about launching on their return!

A huge congratulations to our 2024 Croatia finishers! 🤩

This group of legends kicked off their epic island hopping adventure weekend with 50km on foot all in glorious sunshine! For some it was their first marathon and ultra ever all wrapped up in one outing 🙌

With the first beautiful day in the bag, day 2 saw them take on 3 different disciplines, paddleboarding, cycling and switching back to foot for the famous Walls of Ston and the eternal stairmaster hike. The final day concluded with a stunning sea paddle to Dubrovnik, where it was time to celebrate their mega achievement on the beach in Old Town.

🏃‍♀️Day 1: Run/Hike 50km
The first day of the adventure, run/hike 50km traversing the entire length of island finishing in Korcula Town.

🚴Day 2: SUP 3km / Bike 66km / Run/Hike 6.5km
Day 2 starts with a 3km SUP to Orebic before getting on the bikes and heading to the hills for a brilliant 66km tour of the island. As Kings Landing comes into view will lace up their trainers and storm the Walls of Ston before finishing in Broce.

​🚣‍♀️Day 3: Kayak 35km / Run/Hike 6km
The final day they will be up before dawn to greet the sun at the mouth of the Broce canal as it emerges into the Adriatic.

50 days to go ... 😱

It's nearly time for the biggest edition of The Wall in it's 13 year history! Hands up if you have got a place on the iconic start line of this sold out adventure 🙌

Here's a few top tips for the big day...

🍔 Eat before you’re hungry. Don’t get swept up in the moment, distracted by people and forget to get stuff onboard little and often. You’re in it for the long haul and fuelling correctly is going to make or break it.

🥤Have a liquid calorie back up plan. If you get to a point where you can’t stomach food you still need to get calories in to stay in the game. Consider taking a toothbrush and toothpaste to help reset those tastebuds after 12+ hours. Sounds weird, but it might help you take real food onboard again.

🎵 Save your music for your low point. There’s every chance you’re going to have a ‘I can’t do this moment’ make sure you’ve got your best motivational banger on standby to lift those spirits and don’t crack it out too early so it has the maximum effect.

🎉 Celebrate the small wins and reward yourself for everything, berate yourself for nothing. Do you know how incredible you are for even making it to the start line? Be your own cheerleader.

A huge congratulations to our Ultra Tour of Arran 2024 who have spent 2 days tackling 60 brutally stunning miles through Arran’s glens, forests, mountains and bogs!

We’ve been absolutely blessed with amazing weather all weekend, making tapping that trig point on Goatfell summit this afternoon SO worth it! With 360 degree views out across the sea and neighbouring islands it was a moment to reflect just how much you’ve achieved over the last 48 hours.

Pizza and beer defintely deserved we’d say!

Our Top 3 reasons to take on Hebrides Tip to Toe 👇

1. If the Outer Hebrides have been on your Bucket List for a while, this is without a doubt the best way to explore them. You'll get to explore the islands by foot, bike and kayak, getting up close with the wonderful wildlife and nature, feeling truly immersed in island life. It's remote, stunning and sometimes hard to believe you're still in the UK!

2. The sunrises and sunsets. Whilst Scotland always guarantees all 4 seasons in a week and that's all part of the challenge, we have witnessed some of the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets on these isles. The other bonus is there's not crowds of people there to spoil it! The colours in the sky are next level and it's a wonderful way to wind down and end a day in the saddle.

3. It's the perfect way to disconnect. There's something incredibly special about setting sail to a remote location for an adventure. Free from the stresses of day to day life and surrounded by some of the most breath-taking white sand beaches and turquoise seas, it's the perfect chance to switch off, put your phone away and really focus on the challenge that lies ahead.
