I am excited to be the founder of Spirit of Running and to have my company, Insight Solutions, lead on its development. The running bug has bitten many of us, including me. The growth witnessed in running over past few years has been phenomenal. Friendships, purpose and a sense of challenge and accomplishment – running provides this and more. It has also made a demonstrable difference to our physical and mental health.
I am proud to be a runner and I know all of you are too. Spirit of Running is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the running community at its best and acknowledge the events, initiatives and individuals which inspire us most.
This is an event for runners by runners. See you at the start line!
