applying for additional support

Who does into ultra support?

into ultra can provide support such as free race places, coaching, kit and courses.  

We aim to get the biggest impact and benefit from the support we provide.  The benefit might be mental well-being, physical fitness or sense of achievement.  To have the greatest impact, our support is aimed at those less able to fund races, kit etc through other means – either their own funds or other sources.  When applying please do think about how to reduce the cost and alternative ways of getting some of the support you need – for instance, volunteering at a race to get a free entry.

In terms of the people we are looking to help

• Our focus is helping people with little or no experience in ultrarunning (though we would expect you to have done at least some running)
• It doesn't matter whether you are a potential podium-topper or a back-of-the-packer
• We want to improve inclusivity and so welcome applications from people of all backgrounds

We encourage sustainable running, so support running locally, choosing ethical races, using public transport, re-using kit and so on.   

How to apply

If you would like to apply then please complete the web form which asks about you, your background, support you require and the benefit it will have.

We can cover a range of costs or find a free/discounted service for you.  This might be race fees, coaching, kit, courses or travel. Do email us if you need help identifying what support would be most useful or what race would  suit you.  Here's some ideas on how to choose a race.

If you prefer to just have a chat with one of the team rather than applying by web form let us know and we will set up a zoom call with one of the team.   

You can apply at any time.  We will try to reply to you in 1-2 weeks.   

We will not publish the names of those into ultra supports (unless you give us permission). We do ask that you tell us how things went – mainly so we can improve what we do.

If you have any questions do email us (apply@intoultra.org.uk).
