The Green Runners and Ultra Awesome present:

The Village Green

Running Without The Footprint

Sponsors

Making the National Running Show 2025 that little bit greener.

Co-hosted by The Green Runners co-founder and Barkley Bridesmaid Damian Hall and award-winning coach, author and dream crusher Allie Bailey, this brand-new concept area 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. There is strength and hope in numbers.

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, Jack Scott, Nicky Spinks, Emma Stuart, Dan Lawson, Renee McGregor, David Miller and a host of other legends of the sport, for talks, panels and real life conversations.

Enjoy free workshops, shoe fixing sessions and some of the best second-hand kit available to man. Good for your wallet, your soul AND the 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 is game changing, giddying, forward-thinking stuff. Join us across the weekend and help to be the change.

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 come together to help us to help you make good choices that will protect the places we love to run in. This is not about stopping doing stuff. It’s about starting doing stuff. And it all starts at The Village Green.
