Dean Murley - Membership

Having never run before my mid-thirties when I was unhealthy and an active avoider of exercise, I was coerced into ‘running’ the St Albans Half Marathon in 2008, which I completed in 2 hours 44 minutes. That was enough to put me off running again until a health scare and removal of my gallbladder led me to sign up to the Edinburgh Marathon in 2011, which I completed in 5 hours 32 minutes. And I haven’t stopped running since.

Now, after more than 30 half marathons and almost 20 marathons, I run pretty much every day and couldn’t live without it. I have been an Arrow since 2021 and I was privileged enough to win the London Marathon club ballot for 2024, which I ran in under 3 hours to complete my running journey.

I admire runners of all speeds and abilities, and I am very pleased to be on the committee to welcome all new members to this wonderful club.
