Run Leaders for the Maverick Run Project are the people who make our social runs possible. They know their local area better than we do so they go out and find routes that they think you'll enjoy. Below is the information about the Run Leader for this particular social run.
My name is Clare but often known as Max. I fell in love with trail running over 10 years ago, with my first race being a Maverick Race. Since then I've been hooked.
Trail running is a sense of freedom and escape from the stresses and pressures of life. Once I'm on the trails I'm in my true happy place and I love exploring and sharing my passion with anyone who will listen. I've taken on some pretty huge challenges and am always pushing myself to do better. In a few weeks, I'm doing my first 100km trail for the Samaritans. Running has helped me through some tough times and I'm ready to share some epic routes.
If I'm not training to be a train driver I'm often found with my trail club or plotting new routes for my long runs. Oh and if there's mud, I'll find it...
Below you'll find some information about some of the runs Clare organises. To get the most up to date information, locations and dates, please sign into the My Running Club app.
