The Captains Log : Steve & Hannah, boldly going where no Captain has dared before...

Can two running Captains keep an entire club in stride? In this episode, we sit down with Marple Runners’ newly appointed Men’s Captain, Steve Grace, alongside our Women’s Captain, Hannah T. As club ambassadors, they share their vision for welcoming new members, supporting every runner—at any pace or ability—and what they have planned for the year ahead. We also dive into their personal running journeys and what drives them.

Meanwhile, the usual chaos ensues:

• The 2026 Trail Race: Neil gives a behind-the-scenes planning update about bananas.
• Victorian Entertainment? Mark tries to convince Neil to introduce a bizarre new event involving local insects and a microwave.
• Community Round-up: Eleanor delivers the latest race results and standout achievements from across the Marple Runners community.

It’s mostly unscripted, completely focused on our community, and the perfect companion for your next run. Pop us in your earpods.
