Hi, How Are You?

Hi I am Adam and I am the race director for Great Owl Running. A company born out of the wish to put on some trail fun races based on some of my personal favourite trails, all discovered whilst living in and exploring Leeds and Yorkshire, UK.

Over the last few years I have entered a variety of races, from the London Marathon and the Leeds Abbey Dash to fell races and ultra trail and mountain races in the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and as far afield as Austria, Ireland, Scotland, France, Switzerland, Wales, Italy and Spain.

We want to keep things relatively simple, and reasonably priced. So if you like a fun, challenging and a good looking course look no further. 

Over the year we have started a small community of kind like minded souls from the front to the back (and the mid-pack) without breaking the bank. We like to keep it personal. We also like to think of ourselves as DIY event organisers and want to work with like minded partners, groups, communities and sponsors, If that’s you get in touch!

Our races are for everyone with basic to intermediate trail running experience. Those who maybe want to try trail running for the first time running alongside seasoned veterans who know the course like the back of their hand and want a fast paced trail race, there’s plenty of room for all.

Now go enter our races, and enjoy!

Adam
