There's a future Kilian Jornet there. Nicky Spinks was right to pick up on the fact he's well beyond his years in his ability to understand pacing, and something about his running form seems incredibly natural. A wonderful father and son adventure.
Amazing kid, Tom. Extremely lucky to have such a father. His running form is so efficient and flawless. He definitely has a bright future ahead of him.
An inspiring story of a man and his son sharing the challenge and joy of running through some of the most spectacular terrain in the UK. The interviews with other local runners adds to the cultural tradition of the fells and the hardy people who grow up there to this day. This video brings back fond memories of me taking my son, and later my two daughters, on camping trips to the Lake District. My son was only 10 when we walked togther over some of the iconic hills of the area: Scafell Pike, Haystacks and Helvelyn. Some years later, my youngest daughter was so inspired by a trip to Snowdon when she was 14, that a couple of years later she did the 3 Peaks Challenge. Unfortunately, I wasn't fit enough to go with her, so a good friend of mine helped out. They both completed the challenge well within the 24 hours. I did manage to start with them, as me and my eldest, my son, took a more leisurely hike up and down Ben Nevis. We then drove through the night to meet them at Snowdon. Epic times, unforgettable experiences that bond people for a lifetime.
A group of us had the privilege of running this round on Tuesday, well loved it! Thanks so much for creating it and being involved with this video that inspired us to give it a go.
Wonderful, guys!! Master Tom, you are a machine! Fantastic job. And to your Mom & Dad; you're both doing an excellent job. My hat's off to you both. Tom might enjoy the daddy-daughter runs I have on my channel. We started running together when she was 12, and a decade later, are still at it....and I'm now 58.
Awesome! My son (now 17yrs) runs with me regularly and has done for a number of years. My daughter (15yrs) has also outside of her netball excursions. Trail running is so good for the soul and connecting with each other. The family that exercises together stays together. Well done Tom, Dad, support runners/crew and family.
Great film! I can't believe how well that 12-year-old did! I sure hope my 7-year-old continues to learn to love running and eventually does some long runs like this with me someday. Totally awesome!
parents can only dream of such a kid. im always impressed and amazed by young people who can focus on a goal and show true determination. its wonderful!
Tom: what an inspiration. I will be showing this to my six-year-old son, who loves the outdoors, showing what can be achieved in years to come. Congratulations on a beautiful film Rob.
What a little legend. Congratulations Tom and Huw, what a great film. A lighthearted, iInspirational watch and lovely memento for your family. would lov to do that round myself!
Message for Tom: wow, well done! Last year I ran an ultra race in Snowdonia, it was brutal... (I'm a flatlander from Belgium) and you just keep on going with a smile on your face, that's the spirit! Keep on going young fella!
What a wonderful little film and great story. Lovely to see there's a future generation out there keen to keep the spirit of human adventure alive, while technology, social pressure and media are trying to stop it
I’m staying in the Dysynni Valley in August for a few weeks and will recce some of this round as I’d like to do it for a charity run next year. I’ve chosen The Corris Round as I moved to Corris when I was 3 and attended school there for a few years, so I’m grateful to you both for thinking this brilliant round up and giving me the chance to follow in your very capable footsteps and reconnecting to my first home in Wales. Diolch yn fawr iawn!
Superb film, thanks Rob. Massive kudos to Tom; there's not many twelve year old lads in the UK that could do what he does! Fantastic achievement. Great to have input from Nicky too. Love all those hills in that area and certainly makes me want to go and run the route they did :)
Fantastic film - I was smiling from ear to ear throughout! What a little star Tom is, he's certainly inspired me! I'll be doing the Corris Round this summer without a doubt!! Thank you for filming and sharing so we too can have hours of fun in the mountains!
OMG.... during lockdown.... NHS Covid wouldn't let me in to the fields beyond my garden... (I live in the country).... Lucky you...!!! I ended up running a 1/2 marathon in my garden - took so much longer than a full marathon - hope to see more of you and your adventures
Fantastic effort Tom and Huw and your family and friends forming your support Crew! No doubt your feet were wet running through the mountain dew, despite the discomfort you pushed on through. May you always appreciate the mountain view!!! ... Bad Rhyming aside, a really motivating film about an adventure in arguably the most beautiful part of Wales.
I watch a lot of Ultra‘s but this one was brilliant! So impressed and inspired! Thank you Tom for reminding me that age doesn’t matter if you have passion and determination! I hope I will see and hear more of you!
Lovely film and great story. Thanks for sharing Rob, and please pass on my congratulations to Tom and Huw. Incredible effort and achievement by them both, but obviously especially by Tom.
LOVED LOVED LOVED watching this, very inspiring!! im currently training for my first ultra, aiming for 55/60km. wstching films like this gives me such a motivational push. seems fueling the body is really important so this is something i will start doing. i am going to hide food at points on my run so its ready for me as i pass as i run completely solo. this weekends long run was 30km trail run with 364m elevation. just chipping away.
Superb run guys. Love going wild camping with my 10 year old, so it was brilliant to see this. I'm inspired to drop my big boots and dig my fell shoes out! Well done.
Was recommended by YT and absolutely loved this! From here in the US, well done! Phenomenal effort and great planning/preparation. An experience I'm thinking that you will always cherish.
Wonderful film. Thank you so much! We’ll done, very impressive both of you. I think one day soon Tom you’ll be competing and winning some big races over the hills of beautiful Welsh Wales, my mothers childhood valleys!

I met Tom a few days ago at The Outward Bound Trust Camp In Wales, Aberdovey. He was very friendly and told us about this! :)
There's a future Kilian Jornet there. Nicky Spinks was right to pick up on the fact he's well beyond his years in his ability to understand pacing, and something about his running form seems incredibly natural. A wonderful father and son adventure.
Thanks very much indeed.
Spot on, watch this space I'd say. Wonderful story and great film work, well done.
Seeing a dad and son with this kind of bond gives me hope and inspires my soul...
You inspired me to do something challenging with my 13 year old. This film was brilliant!
That’s fantastic 😀👍
Inspiring. Father and son.
Well done Tom!
Amazing kid, Tom. Extremely lucky to have such a father. His running form is so efficient and flawless. He definitely has a bright future ahead of him.
Yes, they're both really inspiring eh!
