The Leaders' Running Programme

Train with legends,
at altitude.

Windsor sits at a natural altitude advantage few resorts anywhere can offer. Led by Olympic silver medalist Douglas Wakiihuri and world record holder Daniel Komen, the Leaders' Running programme pairs elite coaching with five-star recovery — without leaving the estate.
