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:
- Recent running achievements
- How they have used club sessions to get to this point
- Do they contribute to the club
- 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.
November Runner of The Month
Our November Runner of The Month is Chloe Collins
Congratulations Chloe!
November Runner of The Month goes to Chloe Collins who originally did C25K a few years ago before taking some time out for the family. She’s had a very busy 6 months since joining LFR back in May. Chloe runs with the club nearly every Tuesday and Thursday taking part in the coached sessions too. She has clearly grown in confidence in her own ability. She’s taken part in many races over the Summer whilst training diligently for her first half marathon, Royal Parks Half in October.
This has been a very personal and emotional journey for Chloe as she ran the half in loving memory of Hector. Keep on running Chloe, you’ve been amazing.
Congratulations to Chloe for being chosen as our November Runner of the Month
