Wild Rise

18/10/2026

STRONGER TOGETHER. EVERY SINGLE WEEK.

What a morning with the Wild Rise crew!

We kicked things off with a timed climb to Craig-yr-Allt. Around 1.7 miles and 700ft of climbing from camp to the peak.

12 members took on the clock, finishing between 19 and 28 minutes. Some had never tackled the climb before, and the encouragement waiting at the top from those who'd already finished was something special.

Then it was over to Fforest Fawr for some head-to-head hill sprints, team relays and faster efforts.

Plenty of opportunities to push hard, but equally, everyone was free to work at their own pace. That's how we do things at Wild Rise.

And the best part?

It wasn't the times, the sprints or even the hills.

It was seeing everyone at the end. Smiling, laughing, buzzing from what they'd just done.

The improvement in this group is becoming impossible to miss. Not just in fitness and strength, but in confidence, determination and the way everyone supports each other.

We started Wild Rise because we believed training outdoors, challenging yourself, and being part of a supportive community could do something for people.

Today was one of those mornings that reminded us exactly why we do it.

What a group we're building.

Train Wild. Rise Strong.

WILD RISE MEMBER SPOTLIGHT — RHIANNON

Rhi will be the first to admit she's not always the most consistent with her training.

But when she turns up, she trains hard. She's fierce, determined and always willing to get stuck into whatever we throw at the group.

One Sunday summed her up perfectly.

After only a few hours' sleep from boarding dogs overnight, Rhi turned up for a tough, hilly 8-mile Wild Rise trail run absolutely shattered. After the first mile she was ready to call it a day.

She didn't.

She dug in, kept moving and completed all 8 miles.

That's the sort of progress that isn't always measured in times, weights or numbers. Sometimes it's simply discovering that you're capable of carrying on when your head is telling you to stop.

Rhi has seen improvements in her fitness and strength, but she's also become a big part of the Wild Rise community. She's friends with everyone, always up for a laugh and brings plenty of that personality to the WhatsApp group too 😂

And perhaps Wild Rise suits her for one very simple reason. In her own words:

“If you love exercising but don't love the gym, then Wild Rise is for you. Outdoor, practical and fun exercise with like-minded people.”

We're glad you found us, Rhi. 💪

Train Wild. Rise Strong.

FOR TEDDY ❤️

What a day. What a team.

Yesterday the Wild Rise crew headed to Pen y Fan to take on our 50kg Log Challenge, raising money for three-year-old Teddy and his fight against neuroblastoma.

Two teams of four carried a 50kg log from the bottom of Pen y Fan to the summit. No substitutes on the logs — the same four people responsible for getting their log up, completing the challenge at the top, and bringing it all the way back down.

At the summit, we completed 1,000 reps with each log before starting the long, tired descent back to the bottom.

But this was never just about the eight people carrying the logs.

We had an incredible Wild Rise support crew alongside us throughout — carrying food, snacks and supplies, keeping everyone going, helping wherever they could and providing encouragement and motivation when it was needed most.

And that made this a Wild Rise team effort from beginning to end.

The weather wasn't particularly kind. The mountain was tough. The logs got heavier. Bodies got tired. But whatever discomfort we experienced yesterday was temporary.

For Teddy and his family, this isn't a challenge that finishes when they walk off a mountain.

That's why we did it. ❤️

I'm incredibly proud of every single person who came with us — those underneath the logs and those walking alongside them. Everyone played their part.

And together we've now raised over £1,500 for Teddy. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, shared, supported us and followed the challenge. It genuinely means a lot.

No one reaches the summit alone. 🌲

50KG LOG CHALLENGE FOR TEDDY ❤️

This Sunday, we're heading up Pen y Fan for Teddy.

Three-year-old Teddy has been battling neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer. His family are now trying to raise £250,000 to access the specialist treatment he needs.

We'll do our small part.

Two teams will carry two 50kg logs up Pen y Fan.

There are no substitutes on the logs.

Each 50kg log has a team of four, and those same four people are responsible for getting it to the summit, completing the challenge and bringing it back down.

And we won't be doing it alone.

We've already got another 8 Wild Rise members coming along to support the teams, carry supplies, provide snacks, encouragement and probably a fair amount of abuse when we need it. 😂❤️

We'll head up from Storey Arms and return via the main Pen y Fan route.

If anyone would like to come along, walk with us and support Teddy, you're more than welcome to join us.

And if you can't be there, any donation — however small — or simply sharing Teddy's story would mean a lot.

For Teddy. ❤️

SANDBAGS: INTO THE FOREST 🌲

A little different for Wednesday night…

3.5 miles. Nearly 900ft of climbing. 10kg, 15kg and 20kg sandbags. And a forest full of bad ideas. 😈😂

Carries, climbs, strength, teamwork and plenty of graft over some steep, technical terrain.

Tough? Definitely.

But plenty of laughs, encouragement and slightly wobbly legs along the way.

Another brilliant night with this crew.

Train Wild. Rise Strong.
