Eagle-eyed Skamperers might have noticed a familiar name on the leaderboard recently. Today we announce a huge milestone for Skamper.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

We\u2019re delighted to welcome Alistair Brownlee MBE to Skamper as a Non-Executive Director.<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Alistair\u2019s exceptional career, from winning Olympic gold medals to pushing the boundaries of endurance sport, aligns perfectly with our mission to inspire runners to explore, achieve their best, and find joy in running.<\/p>\n


Alistair brings not only his unparalleled expertise in endurance athletics but also his passion for innovation and community in sport.

Alistair\u2019s achievements and ethos resonate deeply with what we\u2019re building.<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Together, we\u2019ll make running more accessible and enjoyable for runners across the UK and beyond.<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Can you believe it\u2019s still January? The longest month in the known universe hasn\u2019t dampened the spirits of Skamperers this week!<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Sarah Booth<\/strong> has been showing off this week. She\u2019s claimed the top two places on the week\u2019s leaderboard! Congratulations on beating your last time on Huntress Leeds. And nice work on Woodlesford Road Loop. (Sarah, we challenge you to find another course to claim the Gold, Silver and Bronze position before the weekend\u2019s out!).<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Well done to everyone else who managed two Skamper runs this week. Adam Herring, Laura Bier, Liza Keating, Sarah Booth, Stuart Milliner, Joe Brereton, Chris Leeson, Josephine Lightowler<\/strong> and Jon Barton<\/strong>.<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Quick update on the highly contested \u201cMost Skamper runs of Year\u201d competition. Chris Leeson<\/strong> has taken an early lead. But it\u2019s a slim lead and early yet!<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Liza Keating<\/strong> wins the bragging rights to most distance covered on Skamper this week. 21.5km of glorious Skamper trails!<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/blockquote>\n
