Mark

My introduction to running was when I joined Barrow Runners in 2008. Ten years later I was elected as Vice Captain and have been the men's Road Captain since 2022. I have raced a wide variety of distances (including the seldom run quarter marathon) and do not have a favourite distance, more a jack of all trades, master of none.

You will see me of most of the Leicestershire Road Running League races, leading a group on a Tuesday evening, at the track on a Thursday and you may even see me at one of the parkruns in the area, which is how I like to spend my Saturday mornings.

My aim is to get as many Barrow Runners representing the club, wearing the red and yellow. If you are unsure how to do this, please come and have a chat.

Justine

Justine became Ladies Captain in the Spring of 2025, three years after joining Barrow Runners. She is an accomplished runner, having completed eight marathons, a large number of other shorter races and a serious number of parkruns . A recent convert to cross country races, she's never happier than when covered in mud and eating a slice of cake by the side of a muddy field somewhere in Leicerstershire. She is a big advocate for the TEAM element of Barrow, supporting each other and enjoying ourselves, no matter what your level of running.
