I have run many runs with Maverick they have always been excellent. Very well run, great vibes, flexible if you need to transfer for whatever reason. An epic company putting on epic events.

One of the best trail racing organisations in the UK. The routes are well thought out, challenging and clearly marked. The only thing I dislike is the inclusion of dog runners at certain events. Runni... See more

What a brilliant race organiser

What a brilliant race organiser. Just raced my second event with Maverick and I’ll definitely be using them more . Run by proper trail runners for proper trail runners . Top start finish area with great food partners . Really well marked beautiful courses with spot on food and drink just as you need it

Incredible atmosphere!

Incredible atmosphere throughout the event village and along the trails. All courses are very well marked and easy to follow, the outposts has a great spread of snacks & electrolytes and the medals will become unforgettable happy memories. I would recommend Maverick Race in a heartbeat and will be back for more races soon!

I had the best day ever

I had the best day ever, I have never done anything like this before and I challenged myself to the 24km run. The people, and the vibes, along with the set up, staff and the organisation of the whole event were amazing. It was super tough but I managed to finish just under 4 hours. I Loved my medal too! Thank you and I am definitely coming back for the next one.

People where nice and the route was very well marked. But there was no water station from like mile 12- to 20-21 I had a water bottle with me but that was not enough for the distance. Someone could get seriously ill running this event.

Reply from Maverick Race

Hi Bill,

Thank you for joining us for our TRIBE Run Free+ event on Saturday. We’re glad you enjoyed the route and huge congratulations on completing the full marathon race which certainly had ‘a few’ hills.

With regards to the Outposts, (feed stations) as part of the mandatory kit for all marathon and ultra runners they are required to carry enough food and drink to last their entire race. This is communicated pre-sign up on our website, then twice more in the pre-event information pack. Outpost locations are dictated by where we can gain vehicle access to the trails and therefore due to the nature of our routes we can’t guarantee that they are evenly
spaced. Therefore our outposts are there as ‘top-up’ stations in addition to a runners mandatory provisions.

Having the mandatory kit is indeed essential for the safety of our runners, something we take extremely seriously, and we expect runners to take responsibility in ensuring they are appropriately prepared.

Al the best

Great trails, very poor course marking

Really good trails and route however let down by the poor course marking. Yes there are lots of marking along the course but many are tucked away and hidden. I got lost and so did a lot of other I spoke to after the race which is very disappointing as I was winning before being sent the wrong way.

Reply from Maverick Race

Hi Tom. We are very sorry to hear that you got lost on one of our routes and that you felt that the course signs were tucked away. We did experience an issue over the weekend where a local resident decided to remove a lot of our course signs and threw them into the bushes. As soon as we were notified about this we went out and fixed it. When people don't meddle with our signs they are usually very obvious and evenly spaced. When there isn't a place to attach a sign, we stake them into the ground. When that isn't possible, we tie blue ribbon along the route to point you in the right direction. Course signage is something we take very seriously and an element of our events we take pride in. If you would like to get in touch with us so we can have a chat about it, please drop us an email: enquiries@maverick-race.com
Thank you, Maverick Race.

I love Maverick Race events!

I love Maverick Race events! I've done lots and they're always well organised with a great friendly atmosphere.

The routes are beautiful and challenging with different lengths so you can run as far as you like (you can also change routes on the day if you're not feeling it or want to push more). They've got different events to suit first trail runners up to experienced ultra warriors.

Gold standard in trail races.

Well-organised races with excellent marking and great vibes at the start/finish. A very strong brand which is set to become an icon of the British trail running scene. Also lots of fun, and an emphasis on accessible and supportive atmosphere.

I did my 1st Maverick in January 2022…

I did my 1st Maverick in January 2022 with my daughter and Jack Russell, the great thing about signing upto this race is the under 16 are free, dogs are £3 each but definitely worth it as the treats the dogs get after the race are worth much more than what you paid for your dog to enter, maverick have teamed up with pooch and mutt so these are the treats you get for your dogs.
I would definitely recommend Maverick for the scenic and traily routes, friendly staff, volunteers and all the added extras e.g you can test out some Adidas Trail trainers to run your race, they also have some food stalls which either have pizza on one or cakes, bacon butty and hot drinks on the other. Maverick is just an awesome race to be included in 😁

Did my first Maverick event back in 2015 when the company was in its infancy. Since then, I have done multiple events here and there and each time they get better and better. The owners are top guys with a real passion for adventure and trail running. Highly recommend! Hope to be back an event soon 👍🏻

The BEST trail running races!

Absolutely love running Maverick races! Have been running them for years and they are my ‘go to’ when I fancy signing up for a race.

I always enjoy the brilliant routes, which are well marked with plenty of fuel stops and options to drop down to a shorter race if needed. There’s always a wonderfully friendly, welcoming and fun atmosphere. The start and finish line area is also great, with lots of options for a post-race treat.

Their trail running camps are also incredible and a good way to boost your mountain running confidence and explore somewhere new.

Epic trail running event company!
I’ve been helping out for years but finally thought I would give it a go and run an event!
The route was just incredible, amazing views, epic climbs/ descents, food stations had a full range of stuff to try!

I would highly recommend them! Whether you are just getting into trail running or even someone with years of experience.

This was my first Maverick event and the experience was excellent, I am already looking at the next event I could do! Arriving it has a really friendly/ chilled family friendly race village, the drinks/ snacks at the hydration station is the best I have seen and the free goodies afterwards also amazing - thanks again for great experience!

Maverick Race - The Best For Trail Events

Maverick Race are without a doubt the best trail event organisers. Next level locations, routes options for all runners and dogs and second to non goodies when you finish! The best of the best FREE race photos available soon after. Maverick race events have a chilled family friendly vibe with the best support from the crew and epic volunteer course Marshalls. I first raced a Maverick event in 2019 and couldn’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday morning!

Maverick events are well organised

Maverick events are well organised, with great racing villages, fueling stations and medals! The routes are challenging but they offer a wide range of different options to suit each level which is great.

Can't wait for my next race!
