Chair (Tony Blayden)

Tony’s running journey started with the London marathon at the age of 24, followed by a long gap before starting parkrun in 2012 and then joining Lancing Eagles in 2015 to improve his running and become a run leader. He’s still a regular parkrunner with some 500+ parkruns to his name.

Honorary Club President (David Clubb)
