WHAT YOU SAID
Lorie Sutton
David is great and is so encouraging and supportive, whether you’re speedy or leisurely, and he has such a kind heart. David helped me get back into running after a long break, and had always done lots behind the scenes particularly in helping charitable causes, so it’s very fitting that he’s now our Community Lead. 💚
Daria is a fab lead too, and a dedicated hill-finder ! Also very encouraging, and very kind, yet so often makes me achieve more than I think I can! Daria also does lots to manage / organise truly excellent events like The Old Money Run. 💚
Tania Yelland
Daria is the best! Hills make us stronger runners (I think this is her motto 😂). Our marathon queen, full of advice, support, encouragement to get you through any race you enter. You will love her routes, sometimes she will take you off road to explore the history of MK! 💚
Sarah Evans
Daria is another fantastic run lead. I particularly love her Sunday step up sessions (minus the hills) and great when she shares a little bit of the history in her runs around Shenley Church End. Thanks Daria 💚
Marine Turner
David made me feel so welcome when i did my 1st step up run, very friendly & encouraging 👍
Sarah Hill
David is great especially on the Tuesday run, always so supportive of everyone. Friendly, welcoming and encouraging to all.

David is very supportive of back of the pack runners and do encouraging.
Daria my little trail queen one of my favourite run buddies and a genius at finding hills!!
Nikki Norman
Wow! These two are just awesome.
David is just brilliant. He’s the other part of our dream team for the daytime beginners. He’s so good at what he does, so encouraging, helpful and knowledgeable.
Daria is awesome on so many levels, she is so kind, caring and encouraging. Her Sunday runs are always brilliant. She’s also in charge of the Old Money Run and works her socks off weeks prior to the event to ensure it goes smoothly on the day. I’m so proud to work alongside her again this year.
💚💚

Annie Higson
These two are great! Daria organises her runs very efficiently and manages to keep control of large groups with different paces. Her runs are fun and she chooses lovely routes. David is one of my favourite run leads, his enthusiasm is contagious and he contributes so much to the club as well as leading runs.

Daria is fabulous, so encouraging and supportive. I haven’t been on a David led run, but see him out with his beginners groups and at run events, he is a great team member always helping out at events, setting up etc.

Kay Sawbridge
David is fabulous, always so friendly and encouraging. Really enjoyed his beginners course, gives great advice.
Elizabeth Fallows
Fabulous, friendly, encouraging leaders.
I live in Shenley and whenever Daria leads a run she always finds a path I’ve never been on. Plus there’s always a hill involved. Good training is the buzz word.
