These have all been enjoyable but different in many ways.Being part of the club gives me the opportunity to run with lots of people with different running abilities, increasing my motivation and helping me train through the winter. |

| Secretary: Naresh Trivedi |
|
| I have been a member of Edmonton Running Club since seeing the sign to the clubhouse on Green Lanes in 2007. At that time, training on my own had become a little boring and I wanted a group to train with and motivate me.My role within the club is the secretary which I have done since 2009.My favourite distance is 10k. |
 |
| Treasurer: Aggie Minas |
|
| After reading about the club in a local paper I decided to join in 2006. Before this I ran on my own.I am currently the club treasurer and have been involved with the social committee in the past.My favourite distance to run is the half marathon and my favourite race is the St Neotts half marathon where I achieved a P.B. in 2011. |

| Membership Secretary: Tony Lambrou |
|
| I joined Edmonton Running Club in 2006 as I wanted to run the London Marathon in memory of my sister in law who had recently died of cancer. At the time, I had no previous running experience but now, thanks to my association with the club, 2012 will see me compete in my seventh consecutive London Marathon.I find the club very friendly and enjoy training with runners of different abilities.My favourite distance is the half marathon. |
 |
| Committee Member: Marc Bibaud |
|
| I was persuaded to try out Edmonton Running Club by members I met at the Grovelands parkrun in 2010. I soon joined up and have not looked back since.Being part of the club helps motivate me on those cold dark nights and the shared training tips have helped improve my performance – I will be running my first marathon in October 2012.I’m currently responsible for the club website with fellow member Rajiv. |

| Committee Member: Brian Collison |
|
| I formed the club with an old school friend Mick Whelpton after running the inaugural London Marathon in 1981. Mick has since emigrated to Australia, however I kept the club going and ran 6 marathons after this, with a p.b. of 3h 37mins in Edinburgh. Over the years there have been too many races to mention, but the fun I have had doing them will be with me forever. One of my best performances was a 10 mile race in Ware in 1995, which I completed in 66 minutes, however it “must have been a short course”. I now take a back seat in the club but I would love to see new people becoming involved and getting as much out of running as I have done over the years. |

| I have been a member of Edmonton Running Club for a number of years. I joined after I ran the Mayor’s Run where the club was giving out leaflets about running on a Sunday and then having breakfast - and have not looked back.I enjoy running marathons all over the world and also enjoy race running all over the country.I have made lots of friends at the club who are all like minded people from all walks of life. |

| Committee Member: Lorraine Pichelski |
|
| After getting a place in the 2006 London Marathon I looked for a local group to train with, and found Edmonton Running Club. This introduced me to lots of marathon runners who have now become good friends.I am currently the Lady’s cross country captain and these races are some of my favourites along with other more unusual races (where you end up wet and muddy).I am a former rower and have recently taken up triathlons. |
 |
| Committee Member: Avtar Singh |
|
| I was persuaded to join Edmonton Running Club by my friend and barber, Tony (the membership secretary) in 2008. Having not tried running prior to this, I was a bit apprehensive but now I’m a regular on club nights and at the Pymmes Park 5k park runs, which are my favourite distance to run.I work with Sue on organising the club’s social events. |
 |
| Race Director: Rick Oliver |
|
| I have been a member of Edmonton Running Club for over 25 years and have had some great experiences with the club over this time.I assist in the direction of the club’s races (Run the River 5 and the Jill Oliver 10k) and I am responsible for organising the baggage handling teams that the club provides for the London Marathon and other events.Although my favourite distance is the half marathon, I am also a ‘parkrun tourist’, having completed over sixty of these 5k events at fifteen different locations. |
