Trail running events, challenge hikes & mountain adventures.

Welcome to Boondock Events

We are a family-run business based in Sussex, UK who run outdoor events across the country. From the high mountains to quiet rural parts of the country, we are experienced in organising safe and fun events. Offering mountain adventures, challenge events (hiking, cycling & paddling) along with trail running events. We have a particular focus on mental wellbeing and using nature as a force for good.

What People Are Saying

“Boondock Events were incredible from start to finish, from planning the event to guiding all our walkers to the end. It was so well planned and such a pleasure to work with them. Highly recommend!”

“We did a company day out and the team and had the best time. Great to have the whole business away from our desks in nature and get some serious steps in. Would highly recommend and definitely do it again.”

Mountain Adventures

Join us on a mountain adventure across the UK. We are run by Mountain Leaders and have a small team of friendly and experienced guides who take a ‘positive approach’ to getting you to the summit (and back!). We have operated in all sorts of conditions and take a ‘one team’ approach to our mountain hikes.

Boondock organises mountain adventures in Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons), Eryri (Snowdonia), the Lake District, the Peak District & the Scottish Highlights to name a few.

We also run some of the classical challenges such as National Three Peaks, Yorkshire Three Peaks along with hikes up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Sca Fell Pike & Ben Nevis.
