John's progress and determination have been truly inspiring. Despite undergoing eye surgery, he has come back stronger and consistently achieved personal bests. It has been wonderful to witness both his resilience and improvement at the club.

Sharon has returned to the coaching team and effectively kept the club running single-handedly for much of the year. She makes time to dish out Strava kudos giver and support to club members along with keeping special events moving and organised to the highest standards.

It's incredible to think that Isaac has been with the club for less than a year. He has joined all of the socials, run with all paces of people and been one of the quickest people to go from club member to one of the run leading team.

Nicola's "12 in 12" challenge entailed her running 12 half marathons in 12 months in memory of her dad. This has raised over £3,000 for Katharine House Hospice in Banbury. She even completed her challenge in 10 months instead of 12.

Tammi has worked tirelessly as the admin behind the beginners course, volunteered as a marshall at cross country and Abingdon marathon, volunteered nearly 15 times at Parkrun and joined the committee where she has help streamlined our admin.

Eleanor came to us via our beginners course at the start of the year where she attended all but 1 session. Since then she has made herself a recognisable presence at training sessions and parkruns, PB’d her 5k and 10ks and run her first ever half marathon.
