What Our Runners Say

"Different Class"

“Had a fantastic at the Runners Retreat Workshop.Everything had a professional and friendly feel to it, held in a stunning environment. The hosts are all great characters with impressive decorated backgrounds. Their knowledge was of great depth, and they conveyed all sorts of useful information to the group with clarity whilst making the whole day lots of fun. The course content was like a dream for a passionate runner like myself, and I learnt a great deal. I will 100% be returning for more Runner Retreats events, as from the minute I stepped into the Elite Athlete Centre to leaving I had an absolutely awesome time. Lewis, Gemma, Matt & Kirsty…thanks so much for an amazing day, look forward to seeing you all again in the future”
