Marc Kinch (M45)
If anyone wishes to see what a running club role model looks like, it's Marc. A man who I'm sure the vast majority of the club know and enjoy the company of. Over a longer period of time, Marc has made himself an integral part of our club as a committed member, a friend and as social secretary, organising various events for our enjoyment.
October specific, Marc has also shown many of the great qualities which make him a deserved winner. He has taken on the challenges of different terrains (road, x-c & fell) and different distances (5k, 10k, half-marathon), including a team x-country relay. This has led to him completing 4 of the 5 Winter League races so far, taking an early lead at the top of the standings.
Marc hasn't just turned up and completed these races either! Hidden behind that smile, is a man who has been working extremely hard and wasn't too far off his half-marathon best, however his best performance came in the Dave Denton 5k, where he did eclipse his previous best. This also means Kinchy's now claimed a PB at every distance from 5k to marathon in 2018!
Congratulations on a fantastic month and a fantastic 2018, Marc.
