OUR RUN LEADERS

All of our runs are led by England Athletics-qualified run leaders.

George

A bit about George:

George is a Cheltenham-based runner, and can generally be found on or near the Cotswold Way!
He loves the grind and strategy of an ultra, but also the pain of chasing a 5k PB (still trying to crack the sub-20 minute)
He'd love to live in the Lake District and bag all 214 Wainwrights (currently on 46 and counting...)
His greatest running achievement is circumnavigating Seoul following the Hanyang Doseong route.
Bucket list race? Lakes In A Day.

Malc

A bit about Malc:

Malc has been living in Cheltenham and Bishop’s Cleeve for the last 25 years, and Cleeve Hill has been one of his favourite playgrounds for trail running in all weather.
He loves all sorts of runs and races, from the occasional parkrun through to some highlights like the International Snowdon Race, the Great Lakelands 3-Dayer, the 2 day double trail marathon Race to the Tower, and the London Marathon a couple of times recently (tarmac, I know!).
Malc also helps with the national organisation that is Black Trail Runners, leading some of their Bristol social runs… all about getting people of colour into the outdoors via the trails.

David

A bit about David:

David is a very experienced and multi-skilled Gloucester-based runner.
He loves a good road race, but also the beauty of the trail, especially when you can have a moment to take it all in and the freedom the sport gives you.
Fun fact: He has far too many pairs of running shoes, and by his own admission, it's a bit of a problem.
His favourite achievement? It's got to be sprinting the last 400 metres of the track to finish his first 100-miler after endless miles of pain.
Bucket list race: he hopes to one day qualify for Western States.

Phil

A bit about Phil:

Phil is an absolute fidget-bottom who loves combining travel with trail running.
He's won not one, but two (2) parkruns. Some people say parkruns aren't races, but 1st place is still 1st place.
Bucket list race? Ultra-Trail Mont Blanc. (One day. Maybe...)
Oh, and he's the owner and the manager of C&G Trail Runners.
