We have created Runningmonk Trail Events, an Ultrarunning event company founded out of our love of trail and long distance running. We both have a  true passion for running and want to make our Ultras as inclusive and open as possible. We care about all of our runners and believe that running is for everyone.

We have no cut off times, and if you enter and are prepared to keep pushing forward to the end, we will be there with your finishers medal, a local beer from Bishops Castle's very own Three Tuns Brewery/ or a non alcoholic alternative, a pair of cool, hand tie dyed running socks and a big hug.

Our mission is one of inclusiveness, with the aim of encouraging people to try their first ever ultramarathon whilst giving experienced runners a great day out on a fantastic course, with a friendly and happy vibe.

The Event

This course is a 50k route, with about 5000ft of elevation, made up of road, trail, forestry and fields, showcasing Shropshire's true beauty, taking in sections of the Shropshire Way, Offa's Dyke path and the historic Kerry Ridgeway.
