Gareth

I have been a member since 2016 when I went along to support my dad who had recently retired. I discovered a love of running I didn't know I had and a supportive community of people who are as crazy about running as I am! After Team Leading at Tonbridge, I realised I really enjoyed motivating & teaching others, completed my LIRF and became Tonbridge Club Manger before taking over Orpington in 2021.

Among my personal highlights are winning B2R’s 5k Woodland Race 2018 dressed as Wonder Woman and in 2023 completing 10 laps of the Suffolk BackYard Ultra for my first Ultra distance.

I always say, running is not always easy, but it should be fun!

You can meet me and your future clubmates by joining our fun, vibrant, social online Facebook group before even stepping out the door.

If you are not on FB, don't worry our office team are on hand to help you with any queries and I look forward to meeting you at a club session soon!.
