is needed now More than ever
Elly Curshen – Bestselling cookery author and former owner of The Pear Cafe in St Paul’s
“To go from zero to this, I’m nervous. But I know I’m going to do it. I’m not going to let anyone down. I know it’s going to be hard but just having that thing to work towards – not letting myself down – it’s going to happen.”

Mel Bound – Founder and CEO of This Mum Runs
“For me, the Bristol 10k is one of the highlights of my running year and not for my own personal run. Just standing and watching everyone come back with their medals, particularly people who have never done it before. It’s just magic.”

Gareth Mills – UK country manager of Strava
“I get emotional at every finish line, so rule number one is try not to cry. The second thing is, I think we’re allowed to be a bit competitive sometimes, my wife has beaten me in every single race we’ve entered and I’d like to win one.”

Aaron Seldon – Asics FrontRunner and fitness blogger
“I always use races as a celebration of my training. I try and smile as much as I can on the day. It doesn’t matter about the performance. Good or bad, I always treat it as a celebration and the medal is that celebration. That’s the reward for all that training.”
