Run Weekends Recensioni 

My husband and I have just got back from the Dolomites trip and I can honestly say it was the best 5 nights away we have ever had! Thank you so much to Mark, Bob & Lorenzo for such an amazing experience. You made us feel welcome right from the start. You led us and kept us safe on the most stunning trails up into the mountains and along with the other runners we were in brilliant company. Staying in remote huts was an incredible experience and the food was great. We have had so much fun, so many laughs and we can't wait for our next Run Weekends adventure. Thank you!!

My mum and I have just returned from the Dolomites trip with Run Weekends and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. 🤎⛰️🪵

Nick, Bob, Lorenzo, Mark and Matt were incredible - so supportive, kind and encouraging throughout.

Everything was so well organised and they made the whole experience feel really special.

We would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a running holiday in the Dolomites that is inclusive, suitable for all abilities and creates unforgettable memories. We had the best time! ✨

Had a fantastic time in the Dolomites with the Run Weekends team. The whole crew put in the work from the start of the trip to make everyone feel included and welcome, quickly creating a real group environment that lasted the whole trip. The route was spectacular, the pace kept us going without being too challenging and there was plenty of time at the huts to relax and get to know each other. Highly recommended!

It's difficult to put into words how I felt after returning from Chamonix-Mont Blanc.
Yes, the mountains are breathtaking. Yes, trail running through such spectacular scenery is unforgettable. And yes, spending days outdoors with amazing people is incredibly rewarding. But this trip gave me something much deeper than that.
In just five days, Run Weekends changed my perception of humanity.
This isn't simply a running holiday or a trail running retreat. Of course, it helps if you love running, nature, and adventure. But what makes Run Weekends truly exceptional is the people behind it. Poppy, Natalie, Andy, Bob, and my dear friend Nick create an atmosphere of kindness, encouragement, and genuine care that spreads throughout the whole group. Their passion is contagious, and their warmth feels completely sincere.
One of the things I appreciated most is that you don't need to be a fast runner or an elite athlete to belong. I'm 57 years old and usually run only once or twice a week. I arrived in Chamonix feeling apprehensive, wondering if I'd be able to keep up. Within hours, I realized I had nothing to worry about.
We ran together. We ate together. We played together. We climbed together. We struggled together (although they definitely suffered much less than I did! 😄). We laughed together, and we even spent a night together in a mountain refuge. At every moment, you feel like part of the group, yet somehow they also make every individual feel valued and special.
Everything is taken care of. There are no problems—only solutions. No one is ever left behind, physically or emotionally. They treat you like a long-last friend, and what makes it so remarkable is that it never feels forced. It is simply who they are.
I was also incredibly fortunate to share this adventure with a wonderful group of beautiful people. The friendships and memories we created are something I will cherish for a very long time.
If you're looking for more than just a running holiday—if you're looking for an experience that restores your faith in people, connects you with nature, challenges you in the best possible way, and leaves you returning home happier than when you left—then Run Weekends is something truly special.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience. I'll definitely be back.

Very well organised with good communication. The Run Weekends team were very supportive of guest's individual needs throughout the trip. Provided great encouragement to each and all.

Could not recommend Run Weekends more - amazing trip with brilliant crew who were so supportive but also great fun - and the people who were on the trip were fantastic definitely made some great friendships - the location itself, running in the Icelandic Highlands was stunning and one that I would not have attempted without an organised trip - I feel very lucky to have been on such an amazing holiday

Really well organised, inclusive and joyful running trip in Iceland. The run weekends team were fantastic, friendly and encouraging. Great choice of running routes pushing me a little out of my comfort zone but always feeling safe and well supported.

Run Weekends Iceland first edition was the adventure I was looking for. World class trails, with a world class support crew. Couldn't recommend this trip more. Just be prepared for Icelandic weather! So changeable. One day sun, another day, wind and rain. Loved the ethos of the trip. All abilities welcomed and no one left behind. Can't wait to choose my next trip with Run Weekends

I recently returned from spending four days running in the Lake District with Run Weekends. I booked this trip on my own, and as someone relatively new to running, with only a few races under my belt, with my longest distance being just 12km, and with this being my first time visiting the Lake District and running on proper trails that weren't flat, it's fair to say I went into this trip feeling nervous. I wondered if I'd manage on the terrain, if I had greatly overestimated my abilities or if I might hold the rest of the group back.

However, despite the name, Run Weekends is so much more than running.

I left this trip feeling like a completely different person. Having ran a total of 65 km on trails that pushed my limit to points which I would have never thought I was capable of before. Not only do I feel more confident on my feet after overcoming such a challenging weekend, but I also feel more confident in myself.

The support from the Run Weekends team was exceptional; even before my arrival, Michelle was happy to answer any questions I had about the trip, including recommending parking and helping me with the kit list. Once I arrived and received a warm welcome from the team, any concerns I had were quickly alleviated and everything you could think of was taken care of, allowing me to fully relax and enjoy the experience.

Everyone on the trip, from our wonderful hosts to the amazing guests, created such a supportive environment, one that made me, a solo runner, feel like part of a community through our hours of shared stories, laughter, and, in some cases, happy tears. We truly were all there for the same reason: to enjoy time exploring the trails with others.

A huge shoutout to the fantastic team on our trip, Bob, Poppy, Laura, Heidi and Henry. They provided the utmost care and created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. A special thanks to Poppy, our incredible host, and to Bob, the man who can seemingly do anything, including sprinting while taking photos that would put a nature documentary to shame. When I rolled my ankle early into our longest day, Poppy and Bob pulled back from the rest of the group to stick by my side. Thanks to their support, encouragement, coaching, stories and shared laughs, I pushed through my furthest distance in a single day (so far!) at 33km, inspiring me to continue across the remaining days. Each member of the team is a truly inspiring person, with incredible stories that make you think "if they can do that, so can I".

My experience with Run Weekends surpassed all my expectations and delivered a high I didn't realise I was looking for. The challenge, atmosphere, stunning views, and incredible people made for an unforgettable weekend that I wish I could experience again.

If you’re questioning your abilities, speed, or your familiarity with the terrain, the Run Weekends team will show you that you are capable of so much more than you realise. If you’re thinking of booking one of their trips, do it! If you enjoy running, discovering new places, and seeing the world, it will be the best decision you can make.

Without making this review too long - and forgoing the details about the warm welcome, the wonderful accomodation, the lovely food, the informative briefings, the incredible routes, the equally incredible leaders, the en-route 'checkpoint' support, the fact that people were allowed to run their own pace with zero pressure to keep up with those ahead, the on and off trail camaraderie with people who had only just met, the laughs, the (happy) tears, the achievements, the fist bumps and the endless smiles - I can only say that if you are at all hesitating whether a Run Weekend is for you, then you only need to ask yourself this one question: "Do I like running?". If the answer is "Yes", then go ahead and book a Run Weekend, and know that you have made a very good choice. It's why within a few hours of getting home from the Lake District, I had put a deposit down on my next trip (Slovenia).

From arrival the crew were welcoming of us all - we all had the rough itinerary but our lead and host were great at keeping us up-to-date with plans and timings. All our runs were absolutely stunning, the crew were supportive, encouraging and knowledgeable. It was an incredible experience shared with a wonderful group of people, couldn’t have asked for a better weekend trip to the lakes! Thank you to the whole team behind such a fabulous trip - already looking at future trips for 2027 or 2028!

What an amazing experience!
I just spent 4 days running the West Highland Way in Scotland with a wonderful group of people.
Laura, Henry and Matt were incredible hosts and I felt really looked after on what was absolutely the most challenging multi day event I’ve ever done.
The pace was manageable and there was a van absolutely full of snacks to keep us going.
Absolutely stunning scenery across 157km of highlands trails - no idea how I can top it!

Just got back from an unforgettable West Highland Way trip. From the moment everyone arrived our crew (Henry, Matt and Laura) were so welcoming and went above and beyond for the entire trip, providing the upmost care for all the group. The organisation was exceptional, especially with some tricky weather conditions, and the trail was breathtaking. The trip had the perfect balance of creating a supportive, encouraging environment whilst facilitating an epic and challenging adventure. We all met as strangers and left as friends planning future meet up’s.
What makes Run Weekends special is they are more than just running, they combine travel, adventure, and connections within a supportive community.
I can’t recommend Run Weekends highly enough and have already booked another trip and can’t wait to book more.

Writing this review on the way back from completing the West Highland Way running trip with Run Weekends. What an adventure it was, I couldn’t recommend booking a trip with them enough. Our guides for the trip (Henry, Matt & Laura) facilitated a truly unforgettable experience for all involved, they approached everything with such care and consideration for all of us and went above and beyond to ensure we had an adventure of a lifetime. I had such a blast with everyone else on the trip, what an amazing bunch of people and we’re already planning to meet up for other running events we’re doing in the future. If you’re thinking of booking onto one of their trips please don’t hesitate, you absolutely won’t regret it. This definitely won’t be the last time I use Run Weekends and I’m already planning the next one!

This was my second trip with Run Weekend, but my first time running the West Highland Way- and I absolutely loved every second of it!

Matt, Laura, and Henry were fantastic. They supported us every step of the trail, always making sure everyone felt safe, encouraged, and well looked after. Their care and energy really made the whole experience special.

The challenge, the atmosphere, and the stunning views made it an unforgettable weekend. I couldn’t have asked for more!

I’ll definitely be back for a third trip very soon-already looking forward to it! 🏃‍♀️✨

I’ve just returned from the Mongolia Trail Run with Run Weekends, and it was one of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had.

The trip was so much more than running. It was an opportunity to explore a part of the world I would probably never have visited otherwise, running through vast open landscapes, experiencing Mongolian culture, and sharing the adventure with an incredible group of people.

The organisation from start to finish was excellent. Everything was taken care of, allowing us to focus on enjoying the experience. The team struck the perfect balance between professionalism and creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where everyone felt welcome, regardless of pace or ability.

What stood out most was the sense of community. Strangers quickly became friends, and by the end of the trip it felt like travelling with family. The support, encouragement, and shared experiences made the adventure even more special.

The course itself was challenging, beautiful, and unlike any run I’ve done before. The scenery was breathtaking, and every kilometre felt like an adventure.

If you’re looking for more than just another race and want an experience that combines travel, culture, challenge, and connection with like-minded people, I can’t recommend Run Weekends highly enough. I’ll definitely be looking at where they take me next.

Had a highly entertaining running holiday in Mongolia. Huge thanks to Ritch, Jason and the Run weekends team for putting together a very memorable trip. Everything was well organised, Mongolia unforgettable and the whole experience fantastic. Highly recommend.

Absolutely brilliant in every way - location, running, team(s) looking after us, other runners. This was my third Run Weekend and they just get better.

I went with the Run Weekends team to Mongolia and came back with memories for a lifetime. Nick and his team are amazing. Highly skilled, experienced and really sympathetic. The team is able to strike the perfect balance in creating an environment that is inclusive for everyone, a running experience that suits all individual runners and an adventurous programme that creates memories for a lifetime.
