Awesome Company

An awesome company I’ve had the pleasure to run with and also volunteer for. I did say the rhino run was one I decided I could manage after 2 attempts, however this year I will train properly and smash that bloody run 💪.
The location for some of the runs (maybe all) are perfect and the staff and chief man Alan and more than suited for this run.

Rhino Run Half Marathon

I did the half marathon Rhino Run for the second year in a row. The course is lovely, lots of shade and lots of hills. Aid station is really good with lots of different snacks. Tea, coffee and an ice pole at the end. A really friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Fantastic races

I love Canary Trail events. The organisers are great, events are well organised and all the volunteers are super friendly and supportive. Routes are challenging but doable and the people who run at these events are good fun. The Rhino Run 1/2 and full marathon is a wonderful charity event and this year we had two rhinos running with us. I would encourage everyone to have a go as cut-offs are very generous.

Rhino run

Friendly, great support and communication.
I did the marathon, it was very tough in the hot weather along with over 4k ft of elevation gain.
The ice lollies given out were amazing!

Great day out on the trails

Stunning, but challenging route-hilly, including twice up Leith Hill. Low key, but well organised, run by runners for runners. Great day out & loved it!

Canary Events - superb trail races on the North Downs

Canary Events. Superb trail races in a very beautiful region focused on the North Downs. Challenging trails, big hills and beautiful woodland stretches. Well organised by a race team and director that have a great track record running and organising ultra races. A most importantly a friendly inclusive ethos.
