WHAT PEOPLE SAY
“Great pole running workshop with Run the Wild. Learnt several techniques on how to use them for flat, climbs and descents. A fun lesson.”
“Brilliant as always! Learned so much about using poles for running. The tips were spot on, especially for hills. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve their trail skills! Thanks Simon.”
“Attended the pole workshop with Simon last month. Fab small group, all mixed abilities with different goal events. Great to learn different techniques and practice in such a lovely setting. Well worth doing and now feeling much more confident about descents and can move way more efficiently on the way up.”
“Took the Run the wild “trail running pole workshop” on Sunday and it was really helpful. Simon was great, easy to understand instruction in a small and very friendly group -Really recommend it!”
“Well organised with very clear communications and a friendly welcome. Pole running workshop was brilliant – I was a complete novice going in and came away with the confidence to use the poles and be okay practising on my own. Simon was knowledgeable, fun and helpful. Encouraging everyone in the group as we went along and creating a supportive space to try, ask questions and try again. Thanks for a great session!”
“Went on the ‘running with poles’ course today. Absolutely fantastic. Clear, practical instruction with ample opportunity to ask questions and try out what I was being taught. Couldn’t recommend more highly.”
“As newbies to using running poles, we arranged a bespoke Running Pole Workshop with Run the Wild to learn how to use and get the best out of our poles on our forthcoming trail challenges. Simon was a great instructor and it was definitely a worthwhile session. I would certainly recommend signing up to or arranging a workshop with them.”
“Thanks Simon, great tips for better technique today. Lots to think about and practice. 👍”

JACKIE | OCTOBER 2023
“I did a guided 10km at the weekend – my first Run the Wild event and my first trail run. Really well organised, lovely friendly welcome at the registration desk. Lucy was a super friendly and knowledgeable guide who took us along a beautiful, shady route (thank you!). Lovely, relaxed atmosphere, no was left behind and the pace was comfortable. Thanks so much for looking after me! x”
“I took part in my first group 10k at Ashridge last Sunday and have to say how much I enjoyed it. The group leader Harriet was great. It was a relaxed run and she was very aware of everyone’s abilities and adapted accordingly, especially considering how warm it was. As a novice runner / it was a very enjoyable experience and enough to give me confidence to aim for the half marathon in October.”
