Introducing the National Running Show Hall of Fame
For the last 10 years, The National Running Show has brought together runners of every ability to learn, be inspired and share their passion for running.
At the heart of that experience have been the remarkable people who have taken to our stages. Since 2018, we've been honoured to welcome world-class athletes, adventurers, broadcasters and everyday runners with extraordinary stories to tell.
As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we're looking back at the speakers who defined a decade, the talks you still remember, the stories that moved you, and the people who inspired you to lace up and chase your next challenge.
This is their story. And it's part of ours too.
Firstly we wanted to start with the hosts of the National Running Show, Iwan Thomas and Susie Chan. They have been pivotal to the show and the Inspiration Stage and have interviewed the best in the running world.
Welcome to our Hall of Fame.
