Welcome to Madmule Trail

Our Mission

At Madmule Trail, we don’t just run. We prepare. We believe that the wilder the terrain, the more disciplined the athlete must be. To us, "adventure" isn't a lack of a plan—it is the reward for a plan executed perfectly.

NO ADVENTURE UNLESS PHILOSOPHY

We live by a simple rule: There is no true adventure unless there is the risk of failure, and there is no success unless that risk is met with preparation. We don’t chase "likes" or "vibes." We chase durability. We believe that:

No Adventure Unless you have the skill to respect the terrain.
No Adventure Unless you have the strength to carry yourself home.

No Adventure Unless you have the grit to stay calm when the weather turns.

MADMULE 'EVERESTing challenge ' 7th march nr swanage, dorset

Founder of Madmule Trail, Richard O’Connor, is set to take on one this crazy challenge

Over the last 10 years of Madmule, I’ve run countless miles on the Jurassic Coast and across Dorset,” said Richard O’Connor. “Fortunately, I’ve never had to call for emergency assistance, but as trail runners, we head out into remote areas with an unconscious 'comfort blanket' knowing that if something goes wrong, the Air Ambulance is there. They provide life-saving critical care and are currently working to raise £1 million for a second helicopter. I wanted to give something back to a service that allows us to take the risks we do.admule Follow the prgress on Madmule Instagram and Madmule Facebook
