Centurion Running Events are organised by James Elson & Alex Black We held our first event in August 2011 on the North Downs Way and after some wonderful feedback, we set about designing courses and events that gave runners the opportunity to run some of the most scenic and challenging trails in the UK in a fully supported race format where both racing and finishing are encouraged in equal measures Our online coaching team of two, Ian Sharman and James Elson, design simple, highly bespoke training programs built around each individual athlete We prefer to run trails with the mininum amount of necessary equipment, however the items we list as mandatory equipment may save your life if you are caught out in bad conditions, become lost, disorientated or injured during an ultra distance event Our courses are marked by national trail waymarkers and our own additional course markings
