“Just attended the most excellent workshop on running with poles. Highly accessible – no matter what experience you bring, broken down and able to practice all the techniques, corrected when wrong and could keep up with the running. So inclusive and friendly, thank you.”

“If you use poles on the trails and have not attended a Run the Wild pole workshop then book on immediately. I wondered how hard it could be using poles? Well it’s not hard, because Simon’s instruction was excellent. He demonstrated….and we practiced! Simple. Highly recommend.”

“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.”

JAMES | MARCH 2024

“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.”
