I’m Mikey, I started running on and off in 2016 when I decided to take on a trail half marathon to race money for Breast Cancer Now. Did a few ParkRun events and a 10k as well along the way until 2019 when I took on Edinburgh marathon and decided to do some kind of training as I had said for a few years ‘I wonder how far or fast I could go if I committed to some training.’ All my big events are generally done as a fundraiser for charities close to my family.


I completed the marathon in the May and in January 2020 I joined Dewsbury Road Runners. Found myself with a really good group of runners that had similar interests in running trails and off road routes as I did. Now, 2 ultras, numerous 10k road and trail races, Half Marathons, Mountain Marathons and various fell races later including the Three Peaks fell race I’m 100% hooked on running. 


Favourite RunAble event has to be the Urban Night Series. Really enjoy the friendly competition and social atmosphere of running around the Brighouse/Halifax area on an orienteering score event. Finished off with a drink and chat discussing line choices. Yes some of us are that geeky!!
