Meet The ULTRAMAN UK Team
Having raced UMUK in 2023, both Dan and Jon were captivated by the uniqueness of the Ultraman event, the huge challenge it represents, its stunning location and the shared experience of racing with their dedicated support crews.
Initially we reached out to Ben Peresson to offer our support to help him and his team to continue running this incredible event. This developed into us taking over the whole event and we’re now really excited to be running the event in 2027 and to bringing some new exciting elements to the already extraordinary athlete experience.

Jon Fairhurst and Dan Thompson
Jon (54) is a full time Personal Trainer and Triathlon Coach. He is also a co-founder and lead coach of Total Transition Triathlon Club (Wirral). With all of this he is constantly immersed in the world of endurance sports.
Jon has coached many athletes to compete at the highest standards in some of the toughest endurance events around the world.
Jon is himself a multi-time Ironman finisher in both UK and international events. Multiple 70.3’s, marathons, adventure racing, national level runner and GB Age Group athlete representation add to his credentials in the endurance sport world.
Dan (52), is a lawyer by profession, running his own law firm in the northwest of England.
Having pursued rugby for his younger years, a pathway to triathlon came through running and cycling.
Jon started coaching Dan several years ago and this morphed into a close friendship where training together became a way of life.
Dan is a multi-time Ironman finisher, including some of the most respected races in the IM portfolio.
Dan has always leant towards seeking out the toughest and foreboding challenges across the disciplines with the ethos of taking on things that make him feel most uncomfortable. If there’s a sportive or event that professes to be the ’toughest’, then there’s a chance he’ll sign up.
Above all, Dan and Jon are former UMUK participants. In 2023, both took part in this epic race. Jon is the proud owner of a finishers medal, whilst for Dan, it is his only ever DNF in an endurance event, stepping off the course on day 3 of the event at circa 35 miles.
Together, Dan & Jon bring a new energy to the UMUK event and are both very excited about building this event into a well-known and respected event in the UK race calendar.
THREE DAYS IN SNOWDONIA

Testimonials
“UMUK took me to the very edge of what I thought I was capable of, physically and mentally, and then asked for more. You find out what’s left when your body has had enough and your mind starts asking why. My crew and the bond between athletes and crews carried me through those darkest moments. It was savage, extraordinary and unlike anything I’ve experienced before or since”.
A ship in port is safe… but that’s not what ships are built for
Ultraman UK is more than an endurance event—it’s a journey that pushes you far beyond the limits you ever thought possible. Over three gruelling days of swimming, cycling and running, you discover reserves of strength, resilience and determination you never knew you had, while learning a huge amount about who you are and what you’re capable of. If you’re looking for a challenge beyond Ironman, that will test your body, mind and spirit, make the leap, gather your crew and give Ultraman a go—you might just surprise yourself. As the saying goes: “You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice.
