My last morning run in Görlitz and it saved the best sunrise for today. #reasonstorun @UKRunChat @runningpunks

15 years of mud, mayhem and wild running A wild running event, born in the Midlands, is marking its 15th anniversary this year. Created and organised by a local farming family, Wolf Run is led by brothers Charlie and Will Moreton, who remain at the heart of the business today. Since its inception, Wolf Run has grown significantly when 650 runners lined up at the start of the first event, to now welcoming up to 30,000 participants each year across its events. Unlike traditional races, Wolf Run isn’t about being the fastest. Instead, runners take on mud, water and obstacles across wild countryside courses designed to challenge both body and mind while reconnecting people with the outdoors. Two of Wolf Run’s events, Spring Wolf and Autumn Wolf, take place at Offchurch Bury near Leamington Spa, while Summer Wolf sees Stanford Hall in Leicestershire taken over by thousands of runners across a thrilling event weekend. Charlie and Will grew up playing in these wild surroundings and believe maintaining that outdoor spirit of adventure into adult life is increasingly important in today’s sedentary and screen heavy world. Alongside its main Wolf Run events, they also host Junior Wolf races for 7–17-year-olds, meaning the whole family can take part. There is even an option without obstacles, just you and the wild, in the dog friendly trail running event, Wolf Trails. It’s not just a family event on the course; several members of the Moreton family have become part of the Wolf Run team over the years. Founder Charlie Moreton said: “We have lots of family members involved. My cousin Tom does the website and graphics; my wife Katie does the marketing, and my father-in-law James is the financial director. We’ve also roped in our sister Harri, she’s on the mic at every weekend calling out the wave times and general information. We’ve got a DJ onsite, we try to make it a full day out so it’s not just the run, we have a big event village. “Quite a few of our uncles and cousins get involved too whether it’s marshalling, driving, registration or running the bar. We’ve been very lucky, without friends and family it wouldn’t have taken off, we owe a few favours I think.” The brothers both love and live the adventurous lifestyle at the heart of Wolf Run themselves, from rock climbing and banger races across Europe, to mountain biking down glaciers together in the Alps, and of course running wild together at their own events. Will Moreton added: “We run together still. We always try and do the test run together. If things have gone well, one of us will try to sneak in the last wave with runners and marshals which is great fun. It’s a great way to get true feedback from runners, when you’re caked in mud together and you get to hear what bits they like.” Both brothers plan to run in the last wave of the final event this year, Autumn Wolf, to celebrate 15 years of Wolf Run together.

With just one month to go until 20,000 runners take over the streets of the capital, organisers of the 2026 London Landmarks Half Marathon (LLHM) have revealed a star-studded celebrity line up joining the event on Sunday 12 April 2026. From household names to soap legends, reality stars to proud Londoners, this year’s famous faces reflect the eclectic nature of London and a passion for running and community spirit that define the LLHM. 2026 celebrity starters include: Jo Whiley – Renowned radio and TV presenter, taking on her first ever LLHM Adam Woodyatt – Actor and proud Londoner, best known as Ian Beale in EastEnders Alexandra Burke – Singer and actress who is currently playing Chaka Khan on stage Tyler West – DJ, TV and Radio presenter and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Molly Rainsford – Former Eastenders actress, singer and presenter, she recently completed Celebrity Race Across the World with partner Tyler Sophie Rayworth – BBC Newsreader and experienced marathon runner Race Across the World winners Caroline and Tom Bridge – the mother and son duo are running their first half marathon Curtis Pritchard – fresh out of the Love Island All Stars villa, who with dancer brother AJ Pritchard are long-standing LLHM supporters Jenni Falconer (pictured) – Smooth radio presenter and wellness advocate, a LLHM regular Aimee Fuller – Former Winter Olympian and sports presenter, returning to the start line Scott Brown – Former Scottish international and Celtic FC captain Tom Clare – Winner of Love Island: All Stars Series 1, and semi-professional footballer Lia Fyles, Race Director of the London Landmarks Half Marathon, said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome such an incredible group of famous faces to this year’s London Landmarks Half Marathon. What makes LLHM so special is that everyone stands shoulder to shoulder on the same start line – whether you’re a first-time runner, an Olympian, a soap star or running legend. It’s also incredible to have so many of our famous friends returning because they’ve fallen in love with the unique atmosphere and energy of our event.” Thousands of runners will take on the unique 13.1-mile closed-road route that passes 16 of London’s most iconic landmarks. Starting near Downing Street, passing Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, they will run along the Thames Embankment towards the City, passing the Tower of London, The Gherkin and Guildhall Yard, before lopping back to finish by Trafalgar Square beneath Nelson’s Column. Supporters cheering on loved ones and celebrity participants alike can look forward to a truly festival-like atmosphere, with live performances, themed activations and hundreds of volunteers transforming the capital’s streets into a city-wide celebration. All this year’s celebrities have personal reasons for running and will support a multitude of charities with their involvement. The event organised by pregnancy and baby charity Tommy’s, LLHM is 100% not-for-profit, benefiting both Tommy’s and the wider charity sector. With more than 800 charity partners involved, the runners are predicted to raise an incredible £18 million in 2026 alone. Since launching in 2018, the event has raised over £75 million for charities across London and the UK, making it one of the country’s most impactful fundraising events. While the 2026 event is now sold out, excitement is already building for the special 10th edition of the London Landmarks Half Marathon, scheduled for Sunday 4 April 2027. Pre-registration for 2027 is now open. Photo credit: David Parry/PA Media Assignments
