WE ARE ERC
The ERC committee manages all aspects of the club, from fees and membership to welfare and social events. Our fully qualified Run Leaders plan and organise a wide range of trail runs in Sherwood Forest, and street runs around the village.
IAN (CHAIR)
Ian has been running since December 2021, joining ERC a month later. Very much a beginner at that stage, Ian has benefited from the support of the Run Leaders and members to improve his running. As Chair, it is important to him that the club has a strong social ethos.
ALAN (SECRETARY) RL
Alan took up running in his thirties and, after a long break, he returned to it in his sixties. While preferring longer runs – he has run the Robin Hood Way in stages – he’s decided his marathon running days are over. Whilst not running Alan enjoys painting, orienteering, theatre and cinema.
JULIA (TREASURER) RL
Julia has been running for over 15 years but always on and off. Being part of the club is helping her reach her aim of becoming a more consistent runner. Her longest distance had been half marathon before she took up the challenge of running the London Marathon in 2023.
EMMA (MEMBERSHIP) RL
Emma started running during lockdown as a way to burn off all the banana bread she was baking. Joining ERC made her realise running with others is much more fun; the support, motivation and encouragement has helped her run distances she never imagined she would be able to achieve.
SARAH (WELFARE) RL
Sarah started as a road runner but has quickly decided that she prefers the endless possibilities offered by heading out on the longer distance tracks and trails in the region. For Sarah the running club has offered an opportunity to meet new people after moving back to the area.
RICH (MARKETING) RL
A huge sports fan, Rich has rediscovered his love of running thanks to ERC. As well as regular running, he’s into monster 100km hiking events and tennis. He loves hitting the plentiful local forest trails and has built back up to bigger distances, including the odd ultra marathon.
LUCY (EVENTS) RL
Running is Lucy’s new-found passion; it began with the C25k app and has led to participation in 5k and 10k events. She’s eager to push her limits further, including an ultra marathon. Until recently, she was deeply immersed in the world of show jumping, travelling the country to compete.
HOLLY RL
Holly started running 4 years ago thanks to parkrun. and quickly fell in love. Since then she’s completed 5k, 10k and half marathon races and since moving to Edwinstowe has enioyed exploring the local trails. Outside of running, Holly is a serial concert-goer, bookworm and a huge Formula 1 fan.
