What is Runner of The Month & how is it chosen?

For many years now Leighton Fun Runners has chosen a Runner of The Month. This is a person whom the Captain's team believe deserves to be recognised.

Nominations can be made by members. These nominations will be considered but it doesn't mean their nomination will be chosen. It will definitely be considered along with those already being thought about.

Since February 2020 the Runner of The Month has specifically been chosen based upon:

  1. Recent running achievements
  2. How they have used club sessions to get to this point
  3. Do they contribute to the club
  4. LFR Spirit

When there is more than 1 candidate being considered for a month, then the winner will be selected taking all criteria into account. Some months only one member may stand out and in that case not all measures need to be reached. The final decision lies with the Captain's team.

No one is ever overlooked for their achievements.

December Runner of The Month

Our December Runner of The Month is Paula Cousins

Congratulations Paula!

December Runner of The Month goes to Paula Cousins whom has massively grown in confidence as a runner.

This is notable in the number of club runs she has now taken part in this year compared to last, along with volunteering. She is happy a social runner and I like to think that despite finding running hard she does enjoy it. She regularly takes part in parkruns and is perhaps inspired by her brother's 2022 London Marathon journey; she took part in her first 10k in November at Wendover Woods. We hope to see Paula continue with her running journey and most importantly having fun.

Congratulations to Paula for being chosen as our December Runner of the Month
