Poles & Crocs is a dynamic community of fighters, military personnel, and ultra runners who unite in the scenic fells of the UK. Our mission is to support #mensmentalhealth through physical activity, camaraderie, and mutual support. We believe that pushing our physical limits and sharing our journeys help build resilience and foster mental well-being.
What We Do:
Regular Meet-ups: We gather regularly for challenging runs, hikes, and training sessions in various UK fell locations. Our activities are designed to be inclusive yet challenging, catering to all levels of fitness and experience.
Social Events: Beyond our physical pursuits, we occasionally meet for social events, providing a relaxed environment to share experiences and build friendships.
Support Network: Our group serves as a support network for its members, offering a safe space to discuss mental health and well-being openly.
Join Us: We are always open to new members who share our passion for physical endurance and mental health advocacy. While we welcome all, we uphold a strong culture of accountability and commitment. Members are expected to dedicate themselves to 'the work'—whatever that may mean for them personally—ensuring that everyone is contributing to the collective strength and spirit of the group.
Highlights: Over the past year, our members have achieved significant milestones, including completing ultra-marathons, organizing charity runs, and hosting mental health awareness workshops. These events not only showcase our physical capabilities but also highlight our commitment to supporting each other’s mental health.
Commitment to the Work: At Poles & Crocs, we believe in the power of perseverance and dedication. Each member is encouraged to commit fully to their personal growth and the group’s activities. This commitment fosters a supportive environment where everyone’s efforts are valued and recognized.
