OUR RUN LEADERS
Karl ‘Ed’ Law
I volunteered to become a Run Leader in 2019 in order to give something back to the club. Whilst carrying out this role I try to make the runs we do entertaining as well as a little bit challenging so everyone feels they can get something out of it. No reason why running can’t be fun!! I consider myself as a social runner who likes the occasional race to compete against I have completed many 10KM's, the occasional half marathon and a few Marathons.

After doing everything to avoid PE at school, I took up running in 2010 when I was persuaded to enter the Manchester 10K for a friend’s charity. I've been a Run Leader since 2012 when I volunteered to take over leadership of a small running group at work. I joined the club in December 2015 and it is great to have a running club on my doorstep.
Julie Williamson
I joined the club in 2017 on the couch 2 5k program and progressed very quickly through to 10k. A few years later I moved up to half marathons and have now completed full marathons and ultra marathons. All this accomplished with the enthusiastic support of Team Orange. I now enjoy being a run lead and always supporting other members of Team Orange.
Stuart Williamson
I started running when I joined the club in October 2016. I ran my first 10k race at Tatton Park in November 2016 and quickly progressed to a half marathon in Manchester in May 2017. The following year, a competed in the Manchester marathon and in April 2019 I ran the Oldham Way Ultra (42 miles). All these races were with the support of fellow team orange members - many thanks to you all. I am not the fastest runner, but I enjoy longer runs especially over the hills. Being a run lead gives me the opportunity to pass on my running knowledge to others.
Fay Hopwood
I’ve always been an active person but started running more often after joining the club. I now run on a daily basis. Since joining running club I’ve achieved things I never thought I could possibly do… 10km’s, half marathons, marathons and even an Ultra! The support and encouragement you get from members at the club is amazing. Being a run lead helps me give something back.
