What people say about us
“
Being fairly new to ultra-running myself, not only did I benefit from their wealth of knowledge, but they also instilled in me the confidence to really attack races like The Pilgrim Challenge and go for the win – something I wouldn’t have done beforehand! The camp was invaluable in my MDS prep. I could not recommend this week more and I’ll definitely be returning.”
Chris Cox, winner, The Pilgrims Challenge 2024.
“
Lanzarote is a fantastic location, stunning volcanoes with views for miles and some great coastal paths. It is the perfect training ground for MDS; sand dunes, jebel like ascents and breathtaking views. Club La Santa with its high grade sports facilities was a great base for us all. Highly recommended.“
Katie Young, 6th Marathon des Sables 2023 and female champion, The Coastal Challenge 2024.
