Our Story
As some of the fastest growing sports in the world, the challenge and adventure of trail running and multisports are becoming increasingly alluring to people from all walks of life. The sense of achievement and accomplishment felt is an often unrivalled experience, allowing us to push our boundaries further and test our strengths, both mentally and physically. The chance to reconnect with nature and be inspired by people around us can provide a sense of satisfaction and fulfilment, which can so often be missing in everyday life.
At BigFeat Events, we put a lot of research into our routes and locations, believing that the mix of challenge and stunning scenery is a winning combination. All our races are held in the beautiful countryside which surrounds our towns and cities. Our events are affordable and set to challenge you in the best possible way! BigFeat HQ

Claire
I have always had a love of the outdoors, ever since my Dad started taking me up mountains when I was a young child. I was a member of Sale Harriers from the age of 8 and loved running from this moment onwards. 3 kids and a lot of years later, I now run for Hedge End Running Club and also compete in Triathlon, proudly gaining my first GB age group vest in 2015. I much prefer the longer distances, which is also what draws me to trail running, just being out in the beautiful countryside for hours at a time makes me feel alive! My occupation is a teacher but I have always wanted to organise events and now I am lucky enough to do both!

I grew up outdoors playing in the woods and fields along the River Hamble in Hampshire. At Scouts and later, Air Cadets, I really enjoyed anything that got me looking at maps and using them to plot hikes or to find interesting places off the beaten track. Over the last few years I have got more actively interested in running and endurance sports, so its been real fun to combine the route finding using the maps, with the challenge of trail running. Together with Claire, we founded BigFeat to encourage others to explore the places they might not otherwise have found, whilst challenging their bodies and mind with some really awesome races. Be it, Trail Running, Cycling or Swimming..........or maybe all three!
