OUR STORY

Warrior Chimps

– We run to become. But not without fun.

We deliver extraordinary challenging events that bring people together to nurture our physical, mental and psychological wellbeing. The fun, camaraderie, and wellness side of our events are what makes them so great.

Running is not just you versus others or even you versus yourself. It’s so much more than that. Running is a journey, an adventure to become.

Winning is not about when you cross the finish line, winning is about struggle, and effort and optimism and never ever giving up.

Our mission at Warrior Chimps is to unleash the massive potential within all of us! No matter your experience or abilities our events are tailored to suit anyone from complete newbies to ultra-runners, families and corporate teams looking to build bonds beyond the boardroom!

What makes our events extra special?

We are runners! We are by no means ex-special forces or professional athletes (although our founder did get thrashed by Ant Middleton in the South American jungle! A story for another day!) We love the sport! We love the community, we love what it brings to our lives and we care about what we deliver! We run alongside you and we run to become, just like you.

Run With A Community Who Will Root For You!

Motivation initially starts out as a dear friend.

But soon turns into a sneaky enemy when there’s no one to push you, challenge you or just help you stay on course.

We have all struggled with it.

When you run with us, expect a safe space with fun, fellowship and mutual support from like-minded people.

Our Story

In a world where we find ourselves more connected to Wi-Fi than humans or nature! Warrior Chimps events offer us the opportunity to get outside for Challenge, Togetherness, and Wellness.

We are one big crazy family – Running is our health, it is our freedom, our sanity and it is why we get to the start line. Challenge, Laughter and Wellness is what makes life feel good!

We only choose the most beautiful outdoor settings in the country.

Our events will offer you the chance to come together in some exceptional natural environments for challenges that offer something for everyone.

A great battleground for serious ultra-runners to train for that big ultra or try and get your hands on that infamous buckle.

The perfect environment for the whole family to come together to support each other into exceptional growth and laughter, one thing is for sure! memories will last a lifetime!

Corporate teams looking for ways to bond beyond the boardroom look no further! What better way to test your togetherness than a 24-hour relay race! Work together to get to the top but rather than with spreadsheets you will be battling it out for miles, your physical and mental strength will be tested in a fun and supportive environment. You will no doubt return to the office more together than ever before!

Championing For Ordinary Everyday Warriors

Our Founder is just an ordinary guy with struggles like everyone else. He’s not a trained Olympic athlete, nor does he possess superhuman strength, but he does have the drive to improve and reach his personal best every day.

Warrior Chimps

The name Warrior Chimps was inspired by our founder’s battle with mental health, A keen runner with a love for adventure which seen him run across the width of Africa last year. Whilst he sat there plotting out the vision for the business, he was reading a book by Professor Steve Peters The Chimp Paradox which is all about managing your inner chimp and being able to thrive in a challenging world.

After reading the book he claims his chimp has become more a warrior rather than a worrier which inspired our name and the makeup of our events combining challenges, laughter, and wellness three of the best medicines known to man when administered in Nature!

Our events bring people together for adventure, personal growth, and positive challenges in the great outdoors. Warrior Chimps gives participants of all abilities a platform for meaningful personal development. Offering something for everyone no matter what your level of fitness, ability, or strength, we will support you every step of the way.

We compete in nurturing environments that celebrate personal growth and achievement with positive vibes and motivational encouragement. We believe everyone who gets to the start line is a winner and you sure will feel like one with the unwavering support from your fellow runners throughout!

All Things Are Possible If You Believe

Our events are for everyone from elite ultra runners to those who have just laced up their running shoes for the very first time! We create our events to be challenging but above all we want our events to be achievable for everyone so don’t worry we will support you every step of the way. We don’t want people to suffer we want people to grow!

Our dream is for our events to add a big sprinkle of personal growth and incredible memories to people’s lives and with the funds we raise through our events we shall support those most in need with mental wellness workshops to really make a long term difference to as many lives as we can! One day our dream is to build a community wellness retreat funded through our events supporting those most in need on a journey that may have never seemed possible!
