Inclusive events that will make you love the journey as much as the finish line.

Big challenges, small crowds - outdoor events that support you every step of the way.

Smaller Crowds, Bigger Achievements

Big, corporate events can feel intimidating - overwhelming crowds, high pressure competition, and none of the personal touch. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Our events are designed to help you push your limits in a supportive, welcoming environment. With smaller crowds, a friendly community, and plenty of encouragement, we’re here to show you that you can do it -without the  stress or worry.

We do things differently

Our focus is on building inclusive, supportive events that inspire you to push yourself while feeling part of a welcoming community. With over 30 years of experience, we’ve created events like our triathlon, quadrathlon, and the Nut Cracker cycle multi hill time trial, all set against the stunning backdrop of North Cornwall.
