Special Training Weekend with Kathrine Switzer and Roger Robinson
16-18 June

We are thrilled that Kathrine and Roger are able to join us for a very special training weekend based at The Hilton Craigendarroch, Ballater, Aberdeenshire.
Kathrine is the pioneer of women's competitive marathon running - she was the first woman ever to enter and run the event in the days when marathon running was an all male domain. She went on to compete as a top athlete in 35 marathons; winning the 1974 the New York Marathon. Her career has included the development of running programmes in 27 countries for over a million women - which has led to the inclusion of the marathon as a women's event in the Olympics. Kathrine is now a TV broadcaster, author and dynamic motivational speaker. Her latest book, written in conjunction with her husband Roger Robinson, is being published in the USA in the Spring. It is called '26.2 : Marathon Stories'.

Her husband, Roger, was an elite international runner for an unprecedented thirty years (1966-95) and is one of running's leading authors, speakers and historians. Grab your chance to spend some time with them - contact us for more details or keep an eye on the website!
