Trail running since 2016 - inclusive races with generous cut-offs and legendary checkpoints.
Top Day Events is run by husband and wife team, James and Rose. Between us, we have run all over the UK covering every distance from 5k to 100+ miles. We know what we like to see at a race.
We aim to host races that are suitable for both beginners and experienced runners. Our events are designed to be inclusive, supporting participants throughout the race - whether you are a 'racing snake' chasing a time or a place, or you're a nervous newbie, it is important to us that you all share in the same experience.
We aren't here trying to create events that are impossible to finish. We want you all to finish. Our low-key accessible events have generous cut-offs, endless support from our enthusiastic crew and more food than you can eat at the checkpoints. We are all about helping you realise your dreams.
Self-navigation trails, timed loops and backyard ultras across the UK - low-key, generously cut off, and supported by a crew who want every runner to finish.

You run with either a GPX or written instructions to find your way around the course, visiting our legendary checkpoints along the way. No-one leaves hungry.
You have six hours to complete as many 5k loops as you can.
A backyard ultra is an event where you run 4.2 miles on the hour, every hour, until there is only one runner left. Always a great atmosphere as you all regroup each hour.
