Update from Steve Davies 7930 (1980) on what he got up to during 2022

'I am trying to run a marathon or half a marathon in each country and I was due to go to Russia before COVID hit. However since restrictions have been lifted I have added Bosnia (Sept), Lithuania (also Sept), Denmark (June) Latvia (May), Ireland (April), and Cyprus (March) this year. I am off to Lisbon in October and I have Rome (March), Bratislava (April),  Bucharest (May), Tirana (August) and Talinn (September) lined up for next year. So apart from Belarus and Russia, that will be Europe completed! So 25 countries done so far and six more left to go'

Steve sadly passed away on 6th April 2023. He was a very active member of the Gordonian Community and in particular the Gordonian Runners, where he was and always will be a valued member. 





Mark Bissett 8077 (1982) spent the summer of 2022 competing in the most amazing races with what he describes as the most amazing finish lines. Head to our news section here to read all about it!






Emma Plimmer 9641 (1998) has been a member of Gordonian Runners for 4 years. Due to health issues, she has been off sport for the last year so has continued to focus her time on volunteering within sport. Emma has told us what she's been up to over the last year.
'Already a level 2 tennis coach and level 3 personal trainer, in the last year I qualified as a Level 1 official Field Judge, and have taken on the responsibility of team manager for a local composite team. My team comprises of under 13's and under 15's and we travel to different venues to compete in the UK Youth Development league lower age group. Last season we secured promotion to the premier division and I am so proud of all the athletes who give up their time to dedicate to our team.

My local club in Dorset awarded me a trophy at their awards evening for all my volunteer work for them and the county and I also won the South West Regional Newcomer to Volunteering. I was honoured to have been awarded these and to have met Jo Pavey, a five time Olympian (pictured with me).

I look forward to volunteering this year in athletics and Tennis, and also to get back to running with my fellow Gordonians. If anybody is looking to get into volunteering in sport or wants some advice, I'm happy to be contacted.'



Patron Paula Fudge gives a summary of the Endure 24 hour races here together with her completion of her 500th park run!


'In June last year I took part in the Endure 24 Hour Race near Reading.  I was in a team of six and we did 5 miles in a relay over country. It was a great experience for me as in my younger days races like this weren't around.  I didn't run through the night like the rest of the team as felt it would be too dangerous for me.  I completed 3 laps while the rest did 5 laps.  It wasn't about winning for us but having an enjoyable competition with friends.

I also completed 500 parkruns, distance 5k last year.  I always enjoy parkrun as I have made many friends and like to volunteer as gives something back to parkrun.'
