Melissa Bryers

Melissa’s running journey began in 2022 when she joined the HWR C25K course to improve her fitness and belong to something. She had only moved to Basingstoke in 2019 and because of the lockdown, hadn’t had the opportunity to make new friends outside of work.

She has been part of Endure24 twice and lots of local races including parkrun, Romsey relay and Fleet 5k.

Melissa says “My running career has been short and sweet but the friends I have made are forever. Being around these inspirational people has made me realise that anything is possible you just need to have the right mental strength and a little bit of madness….. To be part of the committee makes me feel an integral part of the group and excited to help the club move forward to be the best running club. My strengths are being very loud & over excited and this role will only encourage that behaviour for all upcoming events as part of the HWR cheersquad.”
