I was a member of Sale Harriers from the age of 8 and loved running from this moment onwards. 3 kids and a lot of years later, I now run for Hedge End Running Club and also compete in Triathlon, proudly gaining my first GB age group vest in 2015. I much prefer the longer distances, which is also what draws me to trail running, just being out in the beautiful countryside for hours at a time makes me feel alive! My occupation is a teacher but I have always wanted to organise events and now I am lucky enough to do both!        <\/p>\n    <\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;62px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=&#8221;grid&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1598268695394{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 19px !important;}&#8221; simple_background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-12&#8243;][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=&#8221;grid&#8221; simple_background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;65px&#8221;]<div class=\"mkdf-single-image-holder   \">\n    <div class=\"mkdf-si-inner\" >\n                                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/bigfeatevents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Chris-Bio-Images.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bigfeatevents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Chris-Bio-Images.png 600w, https:\/\/bigfeatevents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Chris-Bio-Images-300x250.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>                        <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;95px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;65px&#8221;]<div class=\"mkdf-section-title-holder   \" style=\"padding: 0 8%\">\n\t<div class=\"mkdf-st-inner\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"mkdf-st-title\" style=\"color: #81d742\">\n\t\t\t\tChris\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t        <div class=\"mkdf-separator-holder clearfix   \" >\n\t\t<div class=\"mkdf-separator\" style=\"border-color: #81d742;width: 80px\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <p class=\"mkdf-st-text\" style=\"color: #ffffff\">\n            I grew up outdoors playing in the woods and fields along the River Hamble in Hampshire. At Scouts and later, Air Cadets, I really enjoyed anything that got me looking at maps and using them to plot hikes or to find interesting places off the beaten track. Over the last few years I have got more actively interested in running and endurance sports, so its been real fun to combine the route finding using the maps, with the challenge of trail running. Together with Claire, we founded BigFeat to encourage others to explore the places they might not otherwise have found, whilst challenging their bodies and mind with some really awesome races. Be it, Trail Running, Cycling or Swimming..........or maybe all three!        <\/p>\n    <\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;62px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3679&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1598269470230{margin-bottom: -35px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=&#8221;grid&#8221; content_text_aligment=&#8221;center&#8221; simple_background_color=&#8221;#789904&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1598274230553{padding-top: 45px !important;padding-bottom: 58px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;mkdf-wpcf7-output&#8221;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-offset-3 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">SUBSCRIBE TO OUR MAILING LIST<\/span><\/h5>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div id=\"mc_embed_signup\">\n<form id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" class=\"validate\" action=\"https:\/\/bigfeatevents.us17.list-manage.com\/subscribe\/post?u=9f9f6b5c34a5bb0a852eb57c9&amp;id=6c2222a49e\" method=\"post\" name=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" novalidate=\"\" target=\"_blank\">\n<div id=\"mc_embed_signup_scroll\">\n<div class=\"mc-field-group\"><label for=\"mce-EMAIL\">Email Address <\/label><br \/>\n<input id=\"mce-EMAIL\" class=\"required email\" name=\"EMAIL\" type=\"email\" value=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<div id=\"mce-responses\" class=\"clear\">\n<div id=\"mce-error-response\" class=\"response\" style=\"display: none;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"mce-success-response\" class=\"response\" style=\"display: none;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signups--><\/p>\n<div style=\"position: absolute; left: -5000px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><input tabindex=\"-1\" name=\"b_9f9f6b5c34a5bb0a852eb57c9_6c2222a49e\" type=\"text\" value=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><input id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe\" class=\"button\" name=\"subscribe\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Subscribe\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row row_content_width=&#8221;grid&#8221; simple_background_color=&#8221;#f2f1f1&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1598273645941{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 64px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1702979750596{margin-top: 20px !important;}&#8221;] At BigFeat Events, we put a lot of research into our routes and locations, believing that the mix of challenge and stunning scenery is a winning combination.
