About us

Centurion Running was founded in 2010 by James Elson, initially as a race organiser with our inaugural event the North Downs Way 100 taking place in August of 2011.

We now have a stable of 11 Ultra Distance Trail Events here in the UK, 1 x 200 mile, 5 x 100 mile, 4 x 50 mile events as well as a 50km race and provide professional online coaching specialising in all disciplines of Ultra Running. Our Events & Coaching website can be found here.

In 2012 we established this online store, as a response to the demand from our runners for high quality, reliable information on what gear, footwear and apparel to best help them achieve their running goals.

The store has gone from strength to strength and the range of lines and available products have moved in to specific areas such as the mountains, cold weather, hot weather and adventure racing. 

In 2016 we established our showroom where runners can come and talk through their race plans with us and get our advice and know how on what and how to prepare in terms of kit, nutrition, apparel, footwear and course knowledge.

Our aim is to provide exceptional customer service, an extremely high level of expertise and a no quibbles return / exchange policy on everything we stock.
