Hey, I’m Megan; OverRun Project’s Run Group Leader!
I got serious about running during the first lockdown. I was living over in Sydney, Australia & I would argue that there aren’t many more beautiful places in the world to run than Sydney! It was here that I trained & ran my first half marathon, taking in the views of the Opera House & Harbour Bridge. I really enjoy long-distance running and feel super excited to be running my first Marathon in April 2025 in Brighton, joined by Harry who will be pushing me through.
For me, running is such a great mental release & I have been lucky enough to meet many amazing people along the way. Run clubs like OverRun Project are a great place to make friends, they keep you accountable and are great for your mental health. We’ve built a friendly, supportive community at OverRun Project & cater for all abilities, so come & join us for our next run… you won’t regret it!
