What a day. We’re feeling so grateful to everyone who helped make Black to the Trails Bristol such a special event. Huge thanks to our amazing photographers @eljaybriss & @eleana.matos who managed to capture the special moments. From the runners bringing energy to the volunteers and marshals helping everything run smoothly, this was community at its best. Thank you to our vendors and partners for helping create such a vibrant race village, to the Fire Brigade for bringing along the fire engine that delighted so many, and to our ambulance team for helping everyone enjoy the day safely. Events like this are never the work of one person or one team. They happen when people come together with a shared belief in community and connection. We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve created together here in Bristol, and deeply grateful to everyone who was part of it. 🖤

WE ARE HERE 🖤 And now, officially, we’re going to @kendalmountainfestival I am so bloody incredibly proud to announce that We Are Here is an Official Selection for Kendal Mountain Festival 2026. 🥳 I conceived the idea for this film because I wanted to tell a story I knew needed to be seen. A story about Black people in trail running and, specifically, Black women. Because my experience in this sport has shown me that, at the intersection of race and gender, Black women remain among the least represented people on our trails, at our start lines and in the stories the outdoor world tells about itself. And yet... We are here. 🏃🏽‍♀️ 🏃🏽‍♀️ 🏃🏽‍♀️ Running. Leading. Building community and finding SO MUCH JOY in belonging. 🫶🏽 It feels particularly significant to be able to announce this during UK Black History Month, with this year’s theme of ‘Honouring Our Communities’. Because this film celebrates them. 🫵🏽❤️ The Black women who show up. Who find each other. Who create community. Who step into spaces where they rarely see themselves reflected back. And who, simply by being there, make it easier for another Black woman to believe she belongs there too. I conceived the idea for We Are Here, and became Executive Producer, because I wanted this story to exist. It just HAD to exist. And I didn’t want it to centre our absence. I wanted it to centre our presence. 🏔️ Our joy. Our friendships. Our community @blacktrailrunners. 🖤 Our right to belong. ✊🏽 And now that story is going to be shown at Kendal Mountain Festival and we get to announce it during Black History Month, I honestly can’t think of a more fitting announcement. Official Selection. Kendal Mountain Festival 2026. We were here. We are here. And we will continue to be here. 🖤 I love you my sisters @rebecca_runs_wild @marathongracefully @kimbowa2016 @serena.broadway @significantpt124 @juliette_dennyy who made this film possible and so much love to @carehighman @theultrarunnergirl for their constant support and talent to help make our dream come true. #WeAreHere #KendalMountainFestival #BlackHistoryMonth #HonouringOurCommunities #BlackWomen BlackTrailRunners

🌲 BLAISE CASTLE RECCE DONE! 🏃🏾‍♂️💨 Had a little preview of the trails today ahead of Black to the Trails at Blaise Castle Estate next weekend — and you’re in for a treat! 🙌🏾 This is a really runnable course with plenty of sections where, if you fancy putting your foot down, you absolutely can. Or if you’d rather take it steady, enjoy the trails and soak up the surroundings, it’s perfect for that too. 🌳 There’s a nice little climb waiting for you towards the end of the loop — but you’re rewarded at the top with Blaise Castle before dropping back down towards the start/finish area. 👌🏾 Going for the 10K? You get to enjoy it all twice! 😁 First time through… back out for another lap. Second time… you’re heading for that finish line. 🏁 1K • 5K • 10K 📍 Blaise Castle Estate, Bristol 📅 11.10.26 ⏰ From 9am 🎶 Music • Food • Trails • Good vibes 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Under 16s go FREE Come for the run. Stay for the fun. 🌲🔥 #BlackToTheTrails #BlackTrailRunners #BlaiseCastle #TrailRunning #BristolRunning BristolRunners TrailRun RunningCommunity ComeForTheRunStayForTheFun

🏅 Copenhagen Half Marathon 🏃🏼‍♀️ Huge congratulations to @kimbowa2016 for completing the Copenhagen Half Marathon! 👏🏼 Ange has taken the approach of using the winter months to get stronger and faster and she’s kicked it off with a bang! 💥 After spending the summer focused on mountain races, she’s now shifting gears and dedicating the next few months to building strength, improving her speed and getting fitter on the roads, starting with a half marathon in Copenhagen Coming away from the racing season, we’ve identified a few key areas to work on, giving Ange the perfect opportunity to build a stronger foundation over the darker months 💪🏼 And what better time to put the work in than now? This phase will set her up to transition back into the mountains stronger and more prepared for the 2027 season 🔥 Well done, Ange! Jumping from mountains to roads isn’t easy, but this work will pay dividends when you’re back on the trails next year! 👊🏼 #MountainStrongCoaching #TrailRunningCoach #StrengthForRunners #TrailRunner #StrengthCoach

2019 me wouldn’t believe what we got to do this week. I remember our first time visiting Chamonix for UTMB, looking around and saying to Tim, “how cool would it be to have a film project here?” This was our third trip back for UTMB filming and the novelty isn’t wearing off. Our filmmaking journey has been filled with a lot of lows, my loved ones can attest to that, but this week was one of the highs. We worked with athletes and producing teams we admire and respect. We spent time in some of our favorite mountains. We witnessed incredible performances, celebrated efforts to move the needle for access issues in our sport, and reunited with friends, film subjects and clients. So here’s your reminder, if you need one, to hang on through the lows because a high is on the other side. Huge shout out to Fanny, @matthewjamesporter @thehilaryann @morgane.brgeois and @emma_dlrme @heronhibou for supporting all the moving pieces of production this week!

Huge congratulations to @kimbowa2016 for absolutely smashing the @utmbmontblanc ETC with a 1hr PB 🎉 This punchy 15km course starts and finishes in Courmayeur, Italy, with 1,200m of climbing 😰⛰️ Ange raced this last year and came back with one clear goal: get fitter and stronger so she could complete it without poles. She smashed it 💪 Months of hill specific training, more loading and force production in the gym, and regular time in the mountains to put it all into practice…. it all paid off on race day 🙌 One challenge we worked through together was cramping in the heat. Working alongside her run coach @jayzruns , we identified she needed to drink more and on race day? No cramps So proud of this one. This training block was exactly what Ange needed to build confidence, and I feel so privileged to be part of that journey coaching her S&C and spending time together in the Lakes on a mini training camp, watching her get fitter and stronger in real time 💪🏽 Well done Ange 👏 Enjoy the rest period, here’s to new adventures in new places #UTMB #TrailRunning #TrailRunningCoach #StrengthAndConditioning #mountainstrongcoaching

‘You’ll never do a whole lot unless you’re brave enough to try.’ - Dolly Parton (1946 - 2026) 🙏🏽 Today I got brave. For weeks I have been creating, and today hosted, with the support of @utmbworldseries and @suunto, the second Global Majority Gathering at @utmbmontblanc. An event that, first and foremost, put community front and centre. A space to connect, share, build relationships and strengthen our global community. Curated for us, by us. A gathering for ethnically diverse people across trail running. From grassroots community leaders to change makers. From everyday runners to elite athletes. From support teams to allies committed to taking intentional action when it comes to racial equity in our sport. And it was SO beautiful to witness. It was SO needed. It was emotional in all the small and large ways that come with being seen, being understood, being in community and being HERE. This work to increase inclusion, participation and representation of historically minoritised people is not easy. It can be painful. At times, it can be mentally damaging. So why do I do it? For mornings like this. ⬆️ For people like this. ⬆️ For US. ❤️ We move forward in power. In community. Together. Because WE ARE HERE. Always have been. ✅ And I promise you, we ALWAYS will be. ✊🏽 If you can’t see it, be it 🫵🏽 Special thanks to @heronhibou and @corrinemalcolm for their support in helping me bring this event to life once again.
