Our Story
It started back in 2011. Founder and former runner, Shaun Dixon had spent 5 unhappy years working in an office in Central London. Working long hours, with no little or no time for exercise, Shaun reignited his passion for running by heading out on a lunchtime run and dragging his colleagues with him. The impact on their physical an mental wellbeing was undeniably, so he tried to encourage more companies to follow suit.
Shaun went on to compete for England and Great Britain as a mountain and cross country runner but also found a host of other likeminded coaches and runners to continue the mission to encourage employers to facilitate aerobic exercise during the working day.
““Our Running club has worked brilliantly, the coaching team are really motivating and have played a major role in encouraging me to keep active throughout the year. The team say the sessions as an integral part of their working week” ”
