Become a Legend at The Enduroman Festival of Ultra Events

What’s special about Enduroman? The overriding feeling that the organisers want you to succeed. I, like many, came to Avon Tyrell unsure if I could complete the events I had entered. The phenomenal support from everybody there including supporters and fellow competitors both day and night helped push my limits beyond my expectations. This is not a organisation set up for profit but for athletes to realise their potential. Help, support and encouragement in a safe but demanding environment. Incredible memories guaranteed.

This is an event like no other. From the minute you enter you are warmly welcomed into the Enduroman family who’s collective purpose is to support, encourage and ensure everyone achieves their endurance goals.

Without a doubt, the Enduroman Festival of Ultra Events, is one of the most exciting weekends of my year! nowhere else can you experience such a family/team spirit whilst taking on such tough events, pushing yourself to your personal limits with such a great bunch of people around you. Don’t just ponder, sign up to an event, you will not look back!

Enduroman is the most amazing event you will ever do, definitely en experience you will never forget. Lovely people even if slightly bonkers! It’s my highlight of the year, counting down to next year already!!

I first came across the Festival of Ultra at Avon Tyrell when following online someone doing the Arch to Arc. That got me inspired to do something bigger than the triple marathon I was already training for and so entered the 100 mile run.
Spending hours upon hours in the company of amazing people rubbed off on me and the weekend has now become my favourite of the year during which I have been given the opportunity to accomplish beyond my imagination thanks to the fantastic team who run the events for us, people who I can now call friends.

Going ultra long at EnduroMan on the Avon Tyrrell course is a life changing experience with an atmosphere like no other place on earth

A place where you can enjoy blisters, chaffing and much more pain, a place where you can chase your limits in a truly amazing atmosphere but the surely the place where you will find new family members!!!

Enduroman – Scary, Elite, Uber athletes, out of my depth, Oh my god what have I done?

These were all thoughts going through my head in the 10 months of training leading up to my first foray into the Kingdom of ultra-triathlon with the Continuous Double at Avon Tyrell.

As soon as I arrived at the venue I could tell, yes this was a completely different world to that of the “races” I have previously been part of. I instantly felt at home being welcomed by the team and other athletes alike. EVERYONE was here not just to achieve their own personal goals but also help and encourage every other person participating; no matter the event they were part of, get to that finish line. Edd’s comment at the race briefing about the crew “we are not here to impose strict rules on you, we are here to keep you safe and do everything we possibly can to ensure you get to that finish line”. It’s not very often you here that support in a race brief.

What a Venue (yes it is tough, but stunning), such a great bunch of athletes and the best organising team you could ask for.

So – Scary, Elite, Uber athletes, out of my depth? It couldn’t be further from the truth. OMG what have I done? Yes very true indeed as I know for sure that I HAVE to go back and participate in silly distances again as once you’ve experienced the Enduroman family there is no way it can be once in a lifetime.

After I completed the UK Ironman in 2006 and 2007. We can across The Enduroman who was holding a Double Ironman in 2008 in Lingfield. I entered the event and started my Double Ironman training. Things did not go according to plan. Will skip the details but I had to have a tumour removed from my spinal cord, which left me paralyzed in my right. I was part of my sons support crew and watched him finish the Enduroman first double Ironman. So my love affair with the Enduroman had begun.
I entered again in 2010 hoping to do the run on hand bike once again during training I had to have my Achilles tendon removed. I entered the single and double Enduroman again in 2013 /2014 due to one thing or other both were a DNF. Entered the Double again in 2015. Pulled up again during training due to my toes turning upside down. On August 29th I had my right leg amputated below knee. I will be back in training ASAP maybe just some swimming events at Avon Tyrrell in 2018.

Eddie and the Enduroman team have supported me all and the way for the best event around. So if you have a Dream The Enduroman Family with help you achieve this.
