Club Chairman & Race Director – Andrew Unitt

Andrew's role

As well as Chairman duties, Andrew also takes the lead on organising the newly established Watermead 10k, one of the Leicestershire Road Running League races.

The race raises money to help the club fund its activities and also make a donation to the club charity each year. Andrew and the rest of the Race Committee have enjoyed fantastic support from club members over the years to help with everything which needs to be done – race days are a big Barrow Runners team effort!

Andrew's running story

Andrew has been running fairly seriously for 25 years, basically since his wife Angela suggested that instead of talking about running the London Marathon he should just go and run it! He has been a member of Barrow Runners for around 15 years.

There have been 17 marathons over the years, including the six "marathon majors", but his real love is racing any distance over any terrain in any weather with a group from the club and enjoying the camaraderie of the day.

Still chasing PBs, but now on an age adjusted basis (he loves a running statistic or two).
