‼️ Important Statement from Shane Ohly at Ourea Events ✍️
“It is with deep regret that I must announce that Ourea Events has ceased trading and is currently in discussions with professional advisors.
This is a deeply painful moment for everyone involved with the business, including our participants, staff, partners, suppliers, volunteers, and the wider trail running community that has supported our events for the last fifteen years. I am truly sorry that we have reached this point.
We are especially aware of participants who have already paid race entry fees for our events. By opting to cease trading at this stage, our goal is to maximise the likelihood that the events will continue under a different structure or ownership. We sincerely hope this approach will give the best opportunity to protect the events and, where possible, deliver value for participants and creditors.
At this stage, although it was difficult, we decided that the only responsible action was to cease trading and allow the business to undergo a reorganisation. This decision impacts all Ourea Events races scheduled for 2026, including:
🔹Northern Traverse (including the Lakes Traverse, Dales Traverse, and Moors Traverse)
🔸Cape Wrath Ultra
🔹Dragon’s Back Race
🔸Skyline Scotland
These events will not go ahead in 2026 under Ourea Events. We understand that many participants will be deeply disappointed and frustrated. Participants will be contacted in due course. We must ask you not to contact Ourea Events, as no one will be able to respond.
