Welcome to Racing Line Running

​

My name is Andy and I 'run' Racing Line Running. I grew up running in kids fun runs whilst my parents took part in races, and I've been heavily involved in the local running scene for 25 years.

​

I have always loved trail running, exploring, getting lost and finding great new places to run; it has a greater sense of adventure than running around the roads. I've run around 50 Marathons & 10 Ultramarathons - you lose count after a while!

​

I turned to event organising many years ago, and have created popular local events such as the Gut Buster & Mapledurham 10, and despite being a terrible swimmer, I came up with the classic Marathon swimming event, the Jubilee River Swim.

​

Racing Line Running came into being in 2019, my motivation was to offer runners something different, good value, all about having fun and running in new places. Hopefully we've been successful in that venture.

​

In 2024 I created the Ales & Trails series of runs (much delayed after initial plans pre-Covid!), taking place from breweries in scenic locations.

​

I am also a Director of the award winning ultra marathon organisers, Ultra Violet, and I organise the Round Reading Ultra & the Run to the Sea ultra marathon series.
