PYLLON EXPERIENCE 4

NEWLY RELEASED TICKETS ON SALE FROM 19:00 16.9.2021

When we get together, amazing things happen.

This time we’ll return to Scotland in October 2021. This is your chance to join the team for a weekend of running and adventure. We’d really love to spend this time with you and for you to be part of another very special event.

The Plan

The weekend will be a mix of running, learning, talking, laughing, some hurting (in a good way) and socialising with like-minded individuals. This is not an event aimed just at the elite level runner, it is for all - those relatively new to trail running, those looking for inspiration to take into winter and the 2022 running season or for those who just love being on the trails and in the mountains.

We’re hoping we’ll be allowed to recreate and enhance the very special weekends we’ve had over the last few years at Aviemore in 2018, Grasmere 2019 and Elterwater in 2020. Runners, spending time with runners - living and breathing what we love!

In case you don’t know anything about our events, Pyllon Experience is a residential event taking place Friday through to Sunday. We organise your accommodation and catering, and provide you with a fully packed timetable of activities and learning.

If you’ve been to one of our events before, then you know we’ll do our very best to make it as fun, informative and inclusive as possible. We’ll be on fresh trails in and around Tyndrum and you’ll get to meet some new people for sure. The infamous XP VK team Hill Reps challenge will return of course!!

We have limited places and they sold out in one hour when we launched our original 2021 event. That event had to be re-scheduled to October, and with the change of date some places have been freed up and are available from Thursday 16th September at 19:00.

The cost is £250 per person (including accommodation and food). This is a residential event and we’ll be staying at the Hostel at By-the-Way in Tyndrum. We have some flexibility with the accommodation but clearly we’ll be spending time around other people. We’ll adhere to the latest COVID guidelines and we need everyone to understand that if legislation or guidance is announced after you book your place we will have no choice but to modify the event format.
We give you our promise that we will do our very best to ensure that you have a weekend filled with fun and adventure. I'm sure we are all craving a little piece of that right now.

MANDATORY KIT

You will need to bring trail running shoes and clothing to suit the conditions as it’s likely to be cold and wet at this time of year! So, think about leggings, shorts, warm socks, hat, gloves, buff, baselayers, waterproof jackets, hydration vest (and your cameras / phones etc). There are some drying facilities but we recommend you have at least 3 x full training outfits and probably a couple of pairs of shoes. For Saturday night, feel free to dress exactly how you choose. Dining in your PJ’s is completely acceptable!

BORING BIT: RULES, REGULATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS

We have only a few rules but they are sacrosanct:

1. We want this to be a great experience for everyone, so we’ll expect that you’ll be friendly and supportive to all who attend.

2. No show-boating. As mentioned already, this is about having a great group experience so leave any egos at home.

3. There are limited places available , and we will need to remain flexible. We will communicate any changes that may affect you and give you the opportunity to withdraw before the full payment is made. After that, we will not be able to issue refunds as we will have made financial commitments to the accommodation provider and order supplies etc.

4. Talk to us. If you are worried about something before you get there, then tell us - no matter how small, we want you to have a great time. If something isn’t right when you arrive, again - tell us! We’re here to help.

5. This will grow - so pay attention!

We will publish a detailed plan / schedule for the weekend before you arrive. We will do our very best to put on a great event - one that is safe and adheres to local and national Covid rules.
