Inspiration is a huge part of dreaming up goals beyond your current comfort zone and an event of this scale will provide an incredible opportunity to hear from people who have been there and done that, who have achieved more than many of us even dare to dream. I look forward to inspiring and encouraging seasoned runners, as well as the next generation of running talent.”
