The Green Runners mission is ‘Running without the footprint’ and has 4 pillars that determine what we do.

1. How we travel?

2. How we kit up?

Wim Hof Method Fundamentals workshop with Will Van Zyl by Wolo Foundation

Date: Sunday 17th July 
Time: 2pm onwards
Duration: 4 hours
Location: Peelings Manor Barns, Hankham Road, Hankham Pevensey East Sussex BN24 5AP

Join us for ice baths and breath work at the beautiful peeling Manor Barns, East Sussex with a qualified Wim Hof Instructor.

 Wolo Foundation knows how important nature is to our mental and physical health, especially when life becomes challenging. We need to learn how to calm the mind and improve our wellbeing. We invite you to join us at Peelings Manor Barns, to experience for yourself the power of disconnecting from the outside world and re-connecting with nature.

We have great pleasure in welcoming Will Van Zyl to Wolo on 17th July. Will is one of the UKs leading and highly rated Wim Hof Method instructors, trained by the man himself.

Will is quoted in saying:

"We have an incredible Innate Intelligence within us that governs every action and reaction of our bodies and minds. 

Every living thing - every part of Life - has this.

Learning to connect with it, feel it and harness it will help us become strong again in Mind, Heart and Body.

With it we can truly Open Up to Life."

We will be led by Will though the 3 pillars of the Wim Hof Method: Breathing Technique, Cold Exposure & Commitment. Find out how you can utilize oxygen and cold exposure to optimize body & mind and learn about the underlying physiology. He will then lead us through the breath work session and an (optional) ice bath. At the end there is ample room for reflection, and the Instructor is there to answer questions throughout the workshop.

Whether you are looking to improve mental or physical performance, relieve symptoms related to an illness, or are just curious to find out what the Wim Hof Method is all about— a WHM workshop offers something for everyone.

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is suitable for everyone but does require a basic level of health. Out of precaution, we advise against participation during pregnancy, or if you are epileptic. People with cardiovascular issues, or any other serious health conditions should always consult a medical professional before starting the Wim Hof Method.

There will be hot drinks and snacks available throughout the session.

Approximate timings:

1400: Guests arrive
1430: Introduction to the session.
1440: WHM session lead by Will Van Zyl;

• Experience the techniques

• Explain the underlying mechanisms at play and benefits of cold exposure

• Integrate into daily life by defining a simple plan of action.

1800: Food, refreshments and reflection time
1845/1900:Session ends.

What to bring?

• Swim suit/trunks

• Towel

• Warm clothes

If you have no prior experience with cold exposure, we recommend you finish your showers cold in the days leading up to the workshop. This may be overwhelming at first, but just try to relax, focus on your breath, and bring it into a controlled, steady rhythm.

Fundraising

This event is a fundraising event in aid of Wolo Foundation.
A £50 deposit is required upon booking to secure your space. 

By signing up, you agree to raise £150 for Wolo Foundation - to help improve the quality of lives of families affected by cancer in Sussex. A fundraising page will be automatically created for you during the sign up process. If you prefer, you can donate the whole amount yourself without the need to fundraise. The ice bath is optional; but if you are fundraising, you need to be prepared to participate - as your sponsors will want to see the photos! 

Please note, due to the personal nature of this process, we will not be inviting spectators. Photography and videoing of your own ice bath will be permitted. 

If you have any questions, please get in touch: sam@wolofoundation.org

Join Team Wolo for the return of this popular half marathon, after a Covid-enforced absence of a year. This scenic race is an off road half marathon, using the undulating paths and trails in and around the South Downs.

This is a long standing event which was originally designed as an event for runners, walkers, and cyclists - under its former guise as the Seaford Martello Triple Challenge. In 2019 it was decided to restrict the event to runners and re name it as the Martello Half Marathon. This has proved very successful and has helped increase participation numbers.

The event is open to runners of all abilities, from novices to experienced athletes and there will be medals on offer to all finishers.

Put on your Black tie and Sparkles and join us at Grand Hotel Eastbourne for the Wolo Birthday Crystal Ball. Enjoy a a deliciously stunning 3 course meal, live entertainment, charity raffle/auction, Jazz Band and late night DJ.

Join Wolo Foundation at the delightful Follers Manor as it opens its gates to the public on one of its few garden open days this Sunday. 

The award-winning gardens will be open on Sunday 4 July 2021 from 11am – 4pm. All proceeds will help raise funds for Wolo Foundation - Helping families affected by cancer in Sussex.

The gardens at Follers Manor boast unspoilt views of the South Downs National Park. Breath-taking areas of natural beauty and most recently featured on Alan Titchmarsh’s ‘Britain’s Best Back Gardens,’ the garden has featured on several other programmes and won multiple awards for its stunning landscape.

Designed by Ian Kitson, the gardens are recognised for being an innovative, inspirational, and iconic cultural landscape. The sunken garden is a particularly beautiful feature, with sheep grazing nearby.

The gardens will be open from 11am- 4pm. Entry is £8 per adult and children are free of charge. Cash is preferred. Refreshments, a tombola and other stalls will be available. Wolo merchandise will also be available to purchase on the day.

There is free parking 5 minutes walk from the gardens. Parking will be clearly signposted on the day. Some of the garden is uneven, and there a few steps, so not all areas are wheelchair accessible. 

No dogs are permitted on site (or left in cars).
