Meet our running ambassadors...

Tommy Trees

Given that he was knocking out half marathons at just 12, it’s clear that running was in Tommy’s blood from the start. And from day one, his goal was always the same: making the Olympics. But when he joined Leeds University and started training with the likes of Alex Yee and Alistair Brownlee, his dream began to feel out of reach, and he ended up drifting away from the sport altogether.

That was until Covid hit and something clicked. Suddenly, running stopped being about competition and became a lifeline. As he built his coaching business and rekindled his passion, he found new goals to chase. And with a renewed sense of purpose, Tommy’s future is wide open – and one thing’s for sure: he’s running towards it at full speed.

Priya Gopaldas

Priya’s journey from medical student to ultramarathoner is anything but conventional. A doctor by profession and a runner by passion, she has continually pushed her limits in every area of her life. But when it comes to running, it wasn’t always this way.

What began as a way to cope with the pressures of pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor has blossomed into a fierce pursuit of personal growth, resilience, and self-discovery. Now, whether she's conquering 100K ultramarathons or sneaking in a 30-minute jog between patient appointments, Priya’s story is a powerful reminder that running can be more than just a sport.
