Visit The Village Green at next year’s National Running Show

The Green Runners and Ultra Awesome present “The Village Green” – making the National Running Show 2025 that little bit greener.

The Green Runners (TGR) had an ace time at the National Running Show UK in January 2024 and we are returning in 2025 with a bigger, better, brand-new concept area!

The Village Green will be co-hosted by The Green Runners co-founder (aka the Barkley Bridesmaid) Damian Hall and award-winning coach, author and dream crusher Allie Bailey. It brings together the biggest names and best ideas in the sport, creating a community hub for everyone who wants a better future.

This is for the curious. This is for the trailblazers. This is us calling you IN, not out!

Who will be there?

The Village Green is the place to meet and talk to your (and our) heroes. We are over the moon to be joined by:

  • Jasmin Paris MBE
  • Dan Lawson
  • Jack Scott
  • Emma Stuart
  • Renee McGregor
  • Nicky Spinks
  • David Miller
  • And many more to come…!

All of these legends of the sport will be joining us at The Village Green for talks, panels and real life conversations.

What To Expect?

Enjoy FREE workshops, shoe repair sessions – from our co-founder Darren Evans of Pair Ups fame – and some of the best second-hand kit out there. Good for your wallet, your soul AND our environment.

We want you to come and make stuff happen. Make a pledge, get books signed, take in the wonder of The Barkley Marathons at our exclusive exhibition and talk, or just get inspired by our star speakers.

This will be game changing, giddying, forward-thinking stuff. Join us across the weekend and help to be the change you want to see!

We are well-chuffed to be supported by some of our besties including Renov8, Trees Not Tees, Preloved Sports, Into Ultra, Vertebrate Publishing and Re-Action, who have joined forces to help us help you make choices that will protect the places we love to run in. This is not about stopping doing stuff. It’s about starting doing stuff.
