Our History

Where it began

Ultra Events was founded in 2009 and organises over 500 events a year, in the UK as well as expanding to Poland and Australia with plans to launch to the USA in 2022. Ultra Events became a corporate partner of Cancer Research UK in 2014, and are proud to have raised over £29million to date for them.

Ultra Events joined forces with Rob from CrossFit Deviant to bring you The Ultra Games. Rob will be in charge of programming all of the workouts that you will see at The Ultra Games event. Ultra Events will use their extensive experience in hosting events to ensure that the production and the event day is incredible.

When you sign up you will be prompted to set up a JustGiving page which is linked to the Ultra Games event to help you to raise money for Cancer Research UK and help fund lifesaving research. All fundraising on JustGiving in the lead up to the event will be in aid of Cancer Research UK. Separate to this, on the day of the event we will be raising money for the FiiT for Life Programme which will make fitness available for people who are affected by chronic disease, both mental and physical.
