MEET THE TEAM:

There are lots of Run Leaders who support the Sunday Striders, but here is our core team:

Caroline Orrells, Run Leader
Caroline has been running for 25 years, starting off taking part in fun runs with 3 children, but then ran out of children!  She loves encouraging others and supporting at the back of the pack.
Steve Orrells, Run Leader
Steve has been running on and off for 48 years.  Although he is now slower (having had a hip replacement) he has represented Wales!
Sue Carroll, Run Leader
Sue is involved in many things and is always encouraging runners of all abilities and helping them to achieve their goals.
