Nick Stallman – Chair
Nick has been a TRC member for 8 years. The Ridgeway Run gave him the taste for trail running and led to joining the club (and eventually becoming race director!). Nick loves exploring the Chilterns, finding new local races, and chatting away the miles with fellow runners on a Wednesday night. Nick is really excited to be on the committee of such a friendly club that has something for everyone.
Ross Langley – Vice Chair
Maddi Pendrigh – Secretary
Maddi is currently the Club Secretary. She’s been running on-and-off for many years and joined TRC in 2022. She describes herself as a ‘slow and steady’ kind of runner and loves the boost running brings. She enjoys all kinds of running whether road, trail, parkrun, with her dog, or at events.
Verity Clarke – Treasurer
Pam Stonebrook – Membership Secretary
Liz O’Keeffe – Women’s Captain
Liz joined TRC in 2011 because she wanted to run in a group on the dark winter evenings. She has since enjoyed being part of the TRC community, competing in a wide variety of races and events; Parkrun, trail, cross country, road, fell. She particularly enjoys the team events such as the relay and cross country races.
Christian Olley – Men’s Captain
Chris joined the club at the end of 2019, as a long time cyclist; taking up running was a refreshing change. The friendly atmosphere and chance to meet other runners was great
motivation to become more involved. He enjoys helping at the track on Monday nights and participating in various events on and off-road, the Chiltern League Cross-Country matches being a favourite.
With a bit more running experience now; he plans to enter some longer events in the upcoming seasons. Chris qualified as an English Athletics LIRF coach in 2024.
Jen Dixon – Communications
Jen joined Tring Running Club at the end of 2024 as she wanted to begin her running journey and run with others. Starting with 5k runs when first joining the club and moving up to 10k races and the Berkhamsted Half Marathon in 2025. Jen has enjoys chatting to friendly fellow runners while learning different routes around the area.
Roger Clarke – Committee Member
Roger has been with the club pretty much since he moved to Tring nearly five years ago. Typically run with the “7.5-8s”, but the pace slows dramatically if he is going down a wet, muddy hill (think Looney Tunes/Bambi on ice legs). The club has been a great way to meet new people and learn the surrounding area. Many times he has benefited from our fearless run leaders’ encyclopaedic knowledge of lesser-known holes in hedges and routes through the woods.
Roger has done a few marathons and a couple of ultramarathons in recent years, including the Chiltern Ridge Ultra Trail and Race to the Stones. Pesky ‘real world responsibilities’ mean he will probably be sticking to ORC events and the occasional half for now, but looking forward to a year of helping out as a committee member and crucially, pulling pints of Side Pocket for thirsty runners on a Wednesday night!
Andy Neill – Committee Member
Andy joined Tring Running Club in 2013 to find some more friends to plod around Ashridge with. He has dabbled in almost everything over the years: ultras, trail, road, LDWA events and his proudest achievement is representing Hertfordshire in the County Fell Running Championships in 2018 when almost everyone else was busy. He firmly believes that the organisers of the London Marathon analyse his Strava data to set the Good For Age time five minutes out of reach whenever he enters a new age group. It is not a coincidence that Andy’s PBs all hail from 2021 after the pubs had been shut for a year..
Nigel Lacey – Committee Member
Nigel was still serving as a senior investigator in the Royal Air Force Police when he joined Tring Running Club in 2000, after moving from Lossiemouth in Scotland to RAF Halton. He was a keen
road marathon runner, PB 2:55:55 (Berlin 1985) but quickly got into running the off road trails around the Ashridge Estate and Wendover Woods areas on Wednesday evenings, whilst maintaining his daily road running regime throughout the week around Wendover. As an enthusiastic cross- country runner, enjoying the Chiltern League matches during the winter months he was elected Men’s Team Captain for a number of years and organised a couple of bunkhouse walking/running expeditions in the Brecon Beacons and another in the Lake District. But after breaking a leg, on a woodland trail near Wigginton, in Jan 2005, he resigned the Capt’s post and once back to fitness was elected Club Secretary, a post he held well into the Covid Pandemic, prior to standing down to encourage someone else to bring some fresh ideas to the role. Nigel has remained on the Committee responsible for Club equipment and maintaining a liaison conduit with our hosts at Tring Park Cricket Club.
