Although the public filing doesn’t show the companies interests, their Facebook page here:

suggests that they intend to go into the business of staging marathon events. Their listed webpage at

Note that the this entry hasn’t been updated since March 2013, so RY clearly owned the domain a year before this alleged 20p wager.
I put it to you, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, that Mr Young has had the intention to start a business of hosting running events since at least 2010, and this whole ‘Marathon Man UK’ episode has been to generate publicity for himself in order to achieve that aim.
The prosecution rests.

Why would they prove to the world that they've been dupes?

At least I have the balls to post as myself and not hide behind a keyboard with a fake name. For those who post under registered names this doesn't apply to you.
Kev, I won't bother with the other regurgitated stuff, but this made me laugh.
You do realize that having a registered name 999 times out of a 1000 it's still fake, they're not posting as their real self?, just the same as when posting using an unregistered name. For instance I'm not really Lydia Romero.
You're not too bright are you.
And anyway, you didn't post as yourself, i.e. Kevin O'Rourke, as CoachKev you were posting anonymously hiding behind a keyboard then you accidently outed yourself and the LetsRun sleuths and trolls were on to you.
You need to get real, something you seem to have a problem with.

Congrats, good work and great sleuthing, with this fella where will it end?
Liked the bit about:
"March 2013, so RY clearly owned the domain a year before this alleged 20p wager".

As I stated on a FB group I will be the first to apologise publicly if this all turn out wrong.
It already has turned out wrong, and yet you still refuse to acknowledge it--let alone apologize.
Aye prey four you're sole, moran.
Kev, what exactly are your coaching credentials ?
I have about the most minor one that UKA gives out and you don't even need that to know that Rob's three starter marathon claims are on the dubious side of very implausible.
Your evidence that they are valid seems to come down to "trust me, he's a nice guy"
The problem with that is many of the claims have been debunked.
World Champion and Champion of the Year!

I don't understand why Robbie is hiding.
Why is Robbie hiding?
Please release your blood test results Robbie and show full transparency.
You have nothing to hide Robbie.
There is also no place you can hide Robbie.
How can I cheer for you if I can't see you on twitter, facebook, speaking tours, award presentations, press releases, at SKINS demos, etc., etc.?

Are you saying you're not really my mom?
I'm crushed beyond words.
Hehehehe
Don't believe everything.
My oh my, haven't you done well here. This essentially blows the whole notion outta the water that Rob got inspired by watching the London marathon and a 20p bet from his wife. It seems that he clearly had intentions of getting into the business of running for some time before 2014. I use the word 'business' because Rob planned on making hard cash out of his hobby jogging and everything he's done has been one massive marketing gimmick to sell himself to the public as a champion of running and charity for the kids.
Rob has no intention of ever actually getting a real job and this was his way of trying to fund his lifestyle. Pathetic that he chooses to do this off the back of genuine people who part with hard-earned cash belived to be going to charities to help children.
The case against Rob continues to build and the concept of following the money is proving to be very revealing indeed. Rob, if you're reading this, the folks here won't stop now until every little detail of your fraud is revealed and I'm not just talking about your fake running times and achievements. You need to come clean and pay all of the money back.

Nonsense. That would be against the forum rules.
For instance I'm really that smart (overqualified for Mensa).
Oh boy.
It seems that the more we FOLLOW THE MONEY... the more new and interesting things we find out about Mr. World Champion Robbie Young.
Sorry about that Robbie. This story just keeps getting better and better... or worse and worse…depending on your viewpoint. I find Robbie fascinating.
What fun!!!
Go Team Robbie™CharityFraud®!
Ok I have a strong feeling you actually like being duped. Let me address some of your points.
- blind loyalty: yes that is very stupid and as a grown man you should really stop that. You don't live in N. Korea do you?
- you don't agree with the evidence: that's confirmation that you are a naive and gullible simpleton. I suggest you stay away from infomercials and con-men/women
- number of marathons he was credited with: Kev, in the real world of running, a marathon means someone ran a timed 26.2 miles with other registered competitors on a certified course. Most of Rob's "races" were run on his own or with small running groups, all unofficially, so in the real world of running those don't count. When I go on a self-timed 20k training run I don't claim I've run 4 5k races. Do you? If you say you're a coach this is basic stuff to wrap of your head around.
If I get another ridiculous response from you I'm going to just assume you were trolling us all along. And if that's the case you are really good at it.
I wonder whether the schools Saint Rob visited have a right to learn about their faux world champion runner. Perhaps we can make a list of all those he has visited and present the undeniable evidence about this transconman. We would of course be doing it for educationl purposes 'for the kids.' A great life lesson learned methinks.
The domain runwildnow.com was last updated in March 2013, so by that time the domain was registered by
and Norman Motors.
Norman Motors is linked to Rob Young looking at this Tweet:
https://twitter.com/prodprodromou/status/592197630312198144
Also, there's a (broken) archive of a page on the runwildnow.com domain for 'personaltrainer':
Which although doesn't work, is mentioned on some Wikipedia articles that have removed content from Rob's Wikipedia page for spurious claims:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Milramteam
There's also an archive of a version of the home page in April 2013 here:
http://web.archive.org/web/20130422132950/http://www.runwildnow.com
I can't work out if there's anything of interest on there, but there is a broken image in the footer for 'Norman Motors'.
What do you make of all that?
Thanks for responding CoachKev. Like all the other LetsRun users who don't personally know Rob, I think he was 100% cheating. I think that there is overwhelming evidence, but if you wish to base your evidence on your own experience rather than what you read online, then that is your choice.
Could you explain how and when you first met Rob? He isn't registered with a British running club, so I wondered when he first became known (within some circles of England) as an ultra runner?

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT POST!!!

Very well done.
Mr. Robert Young has been completely exposed now.
There is nowhere you can hide Robbie.
The dream story is coming to an end.
The nightmare story is just beginning.
That is an interesting idea.
How about a charity fraud indictment for TeamRobbieâ„¢ ?
