Will not be shopping here again. No wonder the eu migrants moaning about sports direct conditions at shirebrook. Utter garbage.

Im supposed to be taking part in a pure challenge event just seen the company has gone. No longer trading as if. I can't get my money back as I booked it month ago. No email no notification no nothing. What a disgusting disgrace.

Haven't even got an email from them…

Haven't even got an email from them cancelling the Snowdonia 45K. Simply tried to contact them and website down. Found out on here that the company is in administration. Pure Challenge if you read this, I was doing this walk to remember and celebrate a fallen comrade. You have no honour.

Not good news!

I was looking forward to 6 Dales Challenge, I was even in contact with them last month regarding parking. Such a shame

No notification of ceased trading

Just stumbled on the fact they are no longer trading. Took our money for 6 Dales event 9 months ago and parking a month ago. No email to say event on 9th June 2018 cancelled or company in liquidation. Will now have to see if we can get a refund via credit card organisation. Con artists and weeks of training wasted. Equipment purchased accommodation booked. What a disappointment.

Daylight robbery

An email the day before the event saying they had gone into administration, reclaim through PayPal- I paid over a year ago for this and no chance to claim back through their only suggested route- over a month later and the promise of ‘existing customers will be in touch’ is nothing but an empty lie! Paid for train tickets from Wales to Scotland, accommodation for the two nights and arranged baby sitters for the kids so I could complete the challenge before my 40th birthday- months of training and investment wasted...a despicable way to treat customers and intentionally cause heartbreak to many
Can’t describe how dissatisfied and disappointed I am with no way to claim a refund for even the entry fee- daylight robbery

One week to go until my cycle event…

One week to go until my cycle event organised by Pure Challenge and I have not been contacted by them to say its cancelled!!
It was only by chance on Thursday (26th May), that I found out that they had ceased trading!
Very poor.

Not even worth 1 star!!

Hopefully this review is seen by anyone who’s signed up to a future Pure Challenge event but the company hasn’t bothered to tell them yet. DO NOT TOUCH THIS LOT WITH A BARGEPOLE!!!!! Out right scammers, have faked events, faked administration and still have other active companies on the go. Just hope I’m around to see when Karma bites you thieves in the @ss!!!!! So just a reminder.... THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!!!!!

Scam

Scam! Fraud! Took my money in July last year for and event in may this year. Company disappears in April this year. No emails nothing. Taking mine and everyone else's money. Setting up another company from the same person at the same time as the other one "went into administration"

One star too many!!!

I have to give one star in able to write a review. Don't pay 1p to this company they are crooks, your event will never happen but you'll have paid for it months in advance and have no chance to reclaim it when the directors dissolve it. Crooks and charlatans each and every one of them. STEER CLEAR OF THEM!!!!

One star is far too generous for this company.
Booked and paid for a long distance challenge walk in Scotland, along with 700 other unsuspecting souls.
They claimed to have gone into administration and told us THE DAY BEFORE!!! Less than 24hrs notice.
Almost a week on no sign of administration on their entry for Companies House.
Website eventually updated to advise this then changed to 'ceased trading'
Company directors jump from one scheme to another. Short term companies. Ripping people off. Endangering lives.
Do not touch this company with a 20ft barge pole!!!
