SINFIN RUNNING CLUB

MEET THE

CAPTAINS

Brian Warner

Men's Road Captain

I have been with SRC since 2010 and joined in an effort to shed a few pounds and get into shape. Little did I know how much I would end up enjoying running and it becoming a big part of my life. I’ve had a go at everything, road, cross country and fell, and enjoyed every part of it, particularly the outdoor freedom and the time where you can simply relax and concentrate on nothing more than running. I’m back now purely on the roads and enjoy anything up to a half marathon distance but I don’t do further than that. I’ve found SRC to be such a great club with everyone inspiring and encouraging you to always do your best.

Remember, every day is different but some days that day can be yours.

Lisa Doherty

Joint Women's Road Captain

I started running in 2022 and joined the club in 2023. With the support of the club, I have now run two major marathons and aim to complete the six stars. I mainly run on roads but will try anything once. The club has given me the chance to try new runs I wouldn't have done otherwise. You’ll see me in fancy dress, covered in glitter, and shouting ‘now a jumping one!’ (High School Musical style) for every photo we take. Running here at SRC is fun, friendly, and social.

Gemma Meek

Joint Women's Road Captain

Hi I’m Gem, I joined the club in 2021 and have never looked back. SRC has become a massive part of my life, from track sessions, club nights, races and parkruns. I enjoy road running mainly, but have ran a few fell races, and hoping to try a bit of XC soon. I like most distances and happy to give anything a go. I am currently training for the London marathon 2025. I feel honoured to be part of the ladies Captain team, I like to make everyone feel welcome. I am always happy to run with anyone or offer support. It is as important to me seeing other people achieve their goals as it is me achieving mine.

Kieran Mitchell

Men's XC Captain

I've been running since the COVID lockdown and joined the club in 2023 to improve my running and learn from more experienced members. It’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made, as I’ve not only grown as a runner but also found a great community. I enjoy a mix of road races, fell races, and cross country, but for me, the best part of the club is the social side, there’s nothing better than coming together as a group after a race. Now, as the Men’s Cross Country Captain, my goal is to encourage other members of the club to step out of their comfort zones and try off-road races.

Jane Wade

Ladies XC Captain

I'm Wadey, and I joined the club in September 2022. I've been a keen club runner for over 20 years and raced most distances from one mile to marathons, including one ultra and a Welsh mountain race. I enjoy on and off road running but do love the fells, which is what initially attracted me to this awesome club.

Martin Sower

Fell Liason

I’ve been running since 2008 and have been part of Sinfin Running Club since 2018. Since joining, I’ve learned so much about running and made some great friends along the way. I’m especially drawn to longer distances, with several ultras and personal challenges lined up this year. And for those who know me, it’s no secret that I love a good hill. When I’m not on a long run, you’ll likely find me at a fell championship race or enjoying the post-race socials. This is my fourth year on the committee, and I really enjoy giving back to our club, whether that’s planning club runs or supporting our growing team of qualified run leaders. I’m also part of the fell support crew, working behind the scenes to bring the championship together and encouraging members to give fell running a go.
