Dan
Very tall bloke

Very tall bloke, originally from Helensburgh, with ties to the North East and the North West of England (currently lives in Bamber Bridge (near Preston)). A long suffering Newcastle United (football), Rugby Union (Scotland) and Boxing fan – who started running races around 2012 to escape his regular sporting-related disappointments.

 

Running facts…

  • Favourite distance: Marathon.
  • Favourite Race (so far): Boston (USA) marathon.
  • Brand of Trainer: Saucony (for road and trails).
  • Worse experience in a run: Skitters before the Great North 10k and having to quickly wet wipe inside of shorts before start.
  • Post-race I always…: Drink Brewdog and scotch whisky.
  • Running hero: Zola Budd

Mrs P & Team
Ace support crew

Mrs P (Michelle) is thankfully quite chilled (needs to be…) and loves the adventures that running takes us on as a family. Reuben is already a keen runner, albeit mostly in circles (at 2.5 years of age, July 2022). Doggie (Black Betty) has seen better days – lucky if we get a 1km run out of her, still epic at ball sprints though (for a 12-year old).

 

Running facts…

  • Favourite distance: Not very far (end of street).
  • Favourite Race (so far): Running after Reuben & Great North Run.
  • Brand of Trainer: Saucony or Skechers.
  • Worse experience in a run: wetting myself running, shortly after giving birth to Reuby.
  • Post-race I always…: Collapse.
  • Running hero: Callum Hawkins
