Simon Speirs (or Speirsy) - Chair
Having done 10 years as Men’s Captain and now as Chair I have always wanted to help everyone to enjoy running for running’s sake, rather than for whatever the reason that got you started in the 1st place. I enjoy just putting my shoes on and going off for a trot anywhere or anytime and I’d like people to feel the same. But so often running is such an individual sport - battling against the clock, yourself, a hill or just that next step. Being part of a club and a team helps to keep my enthusiasm for running alive.
Personally, I like trying lots of different distances, running on the trails rather than on roads, mixing up my training and using a head-torch to keep off the roads during the long winter months. I know that this is not for everyone or even possible through injury - but hopefully no-one will mind me trying to encourage others to give it a go. I also cycle but please don't hold that against me!
If you have any ideas for races, events or suggestions to get more participation from within the club or the wider community - please drag me aside at any time or send me an email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
Simon stood down from the role of Men's Captain and was elected as Club Chair at the Feb 2022 AGM.
