Introducing our incredible Gold Charity Superstars
At the heart of the Threshold Trail Series are the incredible individuals who push their limits not just for themselves, but for a greater cause. Our Charity Superstars are taking on the challenge of one of our ultramarathons while fundraising money and raising awareness for charities close to their hearts.
From first-time ultramarathoners to experienced endurance runners, each of our Superstars has an amazing journey ahead. Scroll down to meet them, learn about their chosen charities, and be inspired by their dedication to making a difference – one step to the finish line at a time.
Feel inspired? Why not take on Race to the Stones or Race to the King this year for one of our Gold Charities?
