Fell Runner

I came into competitive Fell and mountain running late at the age of 27 but very much knew of the Fell Running scene through my uncle who’d spent years competing on the mountains and Fells of the uk.

Now at 32 I can’t shift my love for this sport, the places it takes me and the amazing people I meet along the way. As a proud Pudsey & Bramley club runner I was delighted as Fell Captain to steer the team to Gold at the British Fell Running Relays last year.

As an even prouder Yorkshireman I was over the moon to gain selection to run for the County at the Inter Counties Fell Championships where we also managed team Gold. In 2019 I hope to improve on my results, including a 6th place finish in the English Fell Championships, continue to represent my county in both Fell and XC and to continue to compete in Europe, Zierre Zinal has firmly being circled on the calendar this year.
