Darren Edwards

Darren Edwards is a record-breaking Disabled Adventurer and Motivational Speaker. A mountaineer and Army Reservist, Darren’s life changed in 2016 when he was involved in a near-fatal climbing accident which left him paralysed from the chest down, and with his dreams of climbing Mount Everest and serving with the Special Forces Reserve in tatters.

With determination, resilience, and mental toughness, Darren has overcome considerable adversity to become a record-breaking Disabled Adventurer, World First Expedition Leader and leading Motivational Speaker.

Refusing to let the word ‘disability’ define who he is as a person, and committed to helping challenge the perception of what those with a disability can achieve, Darren has gone on to lead a series of record-breaking expeditions, including ‘Kayak 4 Heroes’, which saw him lead a team of five injured/wounded veterans in kayaking 1,400 kilometres from Land’s End in Cornwall to John O’ Groats in Scotland.

Kieran Alger

Kieran is a journalist and runner covering all things gear and running. From nutrition, shoes and watches, to more advanced performance tech like blood glucose monitors. If it claims to make you run better or enjoy running more, he has probably tested it.

He writes for many of the major titles like Runner’s World, Men’s Health, Men’s Fitness, WIRED, etc and is one of the founders of The Run Testers, a YouTube channel that tests running stuff.

This year, Kieran set about fulfilling a dream 10 years in the making by becoming the first person to run the River Danube from sea to source, 1,830 miles in 67 days, running from Romania to Germany, carrying all his own kit in a 10kg backpack, which raised £10,000 to help poverty-impacted children worldwide.

He has also completed 49 marathons, came in the top 100 at the Marathon Des Sables and top 50 at the Half MDS, 7 marathons in 7 days, did a half marathon every day in December, 1 x 100 miler (1 might be enough) and failed to finish the Lavaredo twice (and is still annoyed about it).

Kieran also organises the annual Big End of Year Run, a free, turn-up-and-run chilled social half marathon around the sights of London on the morning of New Year’s Eve. It started with 3 runners back in 2013 and now has more than 300. It’s the best way to end and start the year.

James Dunn - The Morning Coffee Run

James is an ultrarunner, marathon addict and general sucker for punishment.

20+ stone back in mid-2015 and struggling mentally, James knew he needed to make a change and so headed out the door for a “run”.

Kirk Bowyer

Prior to founding Mini Athletics, Kirk worked with elite athletes in various different sports as a strength and conditioning coach. He worked with many professional teams and athletes from football to tennis, formula one racing drivers to Olympians. His role was to improve performance through physical training and prevent injury.

When Kirk and Clare’s son reached 2 years old (in 2016), they wanted to take him to a sporting class but noticed there were very limited options. There were countless soccer and rugby classes but nothing that really tapped into the concept of what children enjoyed the most i.e running, jumping and throwing. In addition, they wanted children to have a magical and imaginative experience of sport. They knew that the first experience of sport should be something they remember for the rest of their life and go onto lead active, healthy lives. As a result, Kirk gave up his job as a strength and conditioning coach and co-founded (alongside Clare), Mini Athletics.

They completed a pilot year in their home city of Cambridge to prove the model. They then sold their first franchise in 2017. Since then, the infrastructure of head-quarters has grown and the franchise network has expanded to 33 franchisees across the UK and 2 master franchises in Ireland and the UAE. They have thousands of children in their program every week and are about to expand into the USA in 2023.

Gary Robbins

Gary Robbins has been one of Canada’s top ultra-marathon distance runners for the past 15 years. He’s attained many podiums, course records, and “fastest known times” over the years, including his still standing course record at the HURT Hawaii 100 miler, where he’s been the course record holder for over a decade, running the two fastest times in the history of the race.

He is perhaps best known however for his three non-finishes of the world’s toughest footrace, The Barkley Marathons. A documentary titled “Where Dreams Go To Die” captured his journey and has been viewed online over 2.5 million times.

Gary calls Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada home, along with his wife, son, dog and two cats. While struggling with a lack of races throughout the pandemic he still managed to run two 100 mile efforts. His first was charity run on a treadmill in his garage while raising money for British Columbia Search and Rescue organizations, and his second was a route he dreamt up from his front door that had over 30,000 feet of vert up and over six local mountains.

Gary is a race director and running coach by trade, and his events series, “Coast Mountain Trail Running” has donated over $350,000 back to local search and rescue and trails organizations over the years.

Becky Lyne

As a former professional athlete, Becky Lyne has experienced the highs and lows of a career at the top of her game. Her list of achievements includes fourth in the 800m at the 2006 Athletics World Cup in Athens and third in the 800m at the 2006 European Championships, Gothenburg, in a season that saw her voted Britain’s Female Athlete of the Year.

Throughout her career, Becky amassed a wealth of knowledge and experience working with world leading specialists and coaches, which she now shares with young ambitious athletes, as well as her local running communities to inspire runners at every level to achieve their full potential.

As well as drawing on the priceless hands-on experience of being a professional athlete, Becky uses the scientific background gained from her First Class Honours Degree in Sport and Exercise Science from Loughborough University to shortcut through the confusion with the key guiding principles that form the GRACE-full Method.

Becky has always been someone to try and get to the root of the problem. Her international athletics career granted her the access to some of the country’s leading physios, biomechanists and doctors. Despite this, she spent the majority of her career side-lined by injury. Frustrated, she would ask herself, “If humans are designed to run, why am I still getting injured?”. There had to be something fundamentally wrong.

What followed was years of reading, studying and experimenting to try and find the formula that would get her back running consistently. It was only after retiring from athletics and allowing herself the freedom to start dancing (such reckless abandon would not have been permitted as a serious athlete!) that all the pieces of the jigsaw started to fit together. She realised that the postural requirements of dancing applied just as effectively to running. An epiphany whilst stretching in front of the fire conveniently packaged the 5 pieces of advice she would regularly give out to athletes she coached into the GRACE-full acronym.

Ben Parker

Ben has spent 5+ years as a professional running coach, helping everyone from beginner runners to elite athletes. Ben is a qualified Personal Trainer, IRONMAN Coach, England Athletics Coach and Pilates Instructor.
