Stuart's first half marathon was in 2007, and that was the plan, one half ticked off. Then Stuart decided to do his first marathon in 2014, and that was the plan, one marathon ticked off. Then the first ultra was in 2016... you know the drill by now... And, just like that Stuart is now chasing numbers for the 100 Marathon Club and will hopefully complete his 100th Marathon by Spring 2026, which, so far, has included numerous ultras, 100K's and even a 100 miler.
In Stuart's own words, ''I have met some amazing people so far during my running journey, and I hope to meet a lot more. The reason for setting up Phoenix Running Gloucestershire is the inclusivity of the Phoenix events. I want my events to be for everyone, all running/walking abilities. It doesn't matter how fast or how far you can run. Your mile is as important to us, as everyone else's. You will get the same warm welcome, amazing aid station and marshals at all my events''.
