Who we are
Zone 5 Events was created to push the edge of what’s possible - physically and mentally.
Built on the belief that growth lives just beyond comfort, we design endurance events that test resilience, reward discipline and bring people together.
From the Town Moor to other iconic North East locations, our events are about more than miles - they’re about mindset.
We don’t just host races.
We create experiences where ordinary people discover extraordinary strength.
Will
As an athlete, my background was mainly football before discovering running when training for the Great North Run in 2024 and my first hyrox event in February 2025.
Since then, I have changed up my training style and completed my first ultra in May 2025. After watching BPN’s backyard ultra in April 2025, I was fascinated with this event and wanted to bring it to the North East.
Where better to host it than the Town Moor?
Nathan
Growing up, I was always involved in sport - football, rugby and boxing. Then I started going to the gym.
Becoming a dad shifted my focus. What used to be about how I looked became about what I could do.
As I moved more into what people call “hybrid” and endurance training, I found a real passion for pushing limits and doing hard things.
That’s what led to Zone 5 Events - creating something that brings people together to test themselves and step outside their comfort zone.
