Adam, Chair
Adam started running back in 2016, where he ran his first ever 10k race in Harrogate – which is still his favourite 10k to this day. Since then he has run all kinds of races from the Santa fun run in Lincoln to “It’s Grim Up North” – Roche Abbey ultramarathon race to completing a 12 hour endurance race over the Humber Bridge.

His favourite places to run are the trails where he can get lost in nature. He has a passion for the running community and nothing gives him more satisfaction than to see other runners achieve feats beyond what they think they are capable of.

Dawn, Welfare Officer
Dawn has volunteered and worked in a caring capacity since she was sixteen years old, which fits well with the role of Welfare Officer. Dawn began her running journey back in the late 1980’s, initially participating in fun runs raising money for the local maternity unit where she worked.

Having run on and off since, Dawn returned to running in 2016, initially by completing Couch To 5k, and then joining Parkrun. Her biggest achievement was completing the Hull Half Marathon at the age of 61, proving that age is no barrier to running.

Mel, Secretary

Melissa began her running journey in 2016, participating in local races and Parkrun.

Joining a running club in 2020 while living in Gibraltar saw Melissa develop as a runner by training consistently and seeing marked improvement. Since then, she has trained for numerous races of varying distances. Recently qualified as a Run Leader, Melissa is passionate about supporting the running community and encouraging fellow runners.

Wil, Membership

For quite some time, Wil referred to himself as a reluctant runner. Ultimately having his “running is awful” motto printed on a hoody.

That said, during the 2024 Lincoln 10k it did click and he likes it enough to have become a run leader and support others.

Wil is his own biggest critic but he has come a long way in the last year and is chasing that sub-2hr half marathon.
