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.
Like many people, I took up running to get fit. I used to road run in circles trying to get faster and faster. It wasn't enjoyable, it was a process in order to get that PB down. Until one day I signed up to a Maverick race. I wore road shoes, slipped in the mud and was extremely frustrated about how "slow" I was. Then I realised - this is actually a lot more fun. Being outdoors with a bunch of people who are getting stuck in the mud, encouraging each other up the hills, all with smiles on their faces having a great time.
Even more magical than the great outdoors is the pleasure of introducing people who claim not to be runners, to this wonderful playground.
I often run with a few friends and my dog, Lola. We all have different levels of running experience, sometimes we stop to walk the hills or take in the view. But we always have fun and no-one gets left behind.
I am looking forward to creating an inclusive fun running group and sharing my playground!
Kings Somborne is a beautiful little village in the heart of the Test Valley. There are plenty of trails with lots of variety.
Weekly runs will be between 5-10km comprising sections of the Clarendon Way, Parnhold Woods, Vineyard Views, Beautiful Bluebelles, Farley Mount, and The Test Way. There is plenty of variety!
There may be a few hills but the trails themselves are not too technical – fantastic for those who are new to trail running. The hills are often walked and no one gets left behind.
