Leadership
MEET OUR TEAM
Out club is run by five officers and a general committee.
Club Officers
Gareth Roebuck
Chair/Run Leader
Gareth, or as he’s otherwise known ‘The Bearded Wonder’, is a well-known and instantly recognisable member of the local running community. As an accomplished runner, he loves nothing more than a muddy trail run!
James Illsley
Treasurer/Run Leader
James not only loves his running, but he's a keen walker too. In addition to the runs, he has taken on responsibility for developing our weekly walking group that meets every Wednesday evening.
Emma Suess
Co-Chair/Run Leader
Emma is a proud mum to two children and is a keen exponent of buggy running. She can often be seen at her local parkrun, whizzing round at pace with her running buggy!
Michelle Nicholls
Run Leader
Michelle loves the sense of achievement you feel after completing a run especially when you’ve not really wanted to go and knows the hardest part is always getting out the door. For her, it’s all about making running fun and not taking things too seriously.
Martine Roebuck
Secretary/Run Leader
Martine is Rogue Runners Ripley’s Mental Health Champion and works tirelessly to support the physical and mental health of people in our community.
