Hi! I’m Sophie (she/they). I am a UESCA certified running coach and I am a trail/ultra runner.

I set up Queer Runnings because I was tired of feeling like the only queer person on the trails and I knew I couldn’t be the only one. Having ADHD and ASD and being somewhat of an introvert, I set up an entirely virtual run club which has grown into a vibrant and supportive community full of queer running joy!

When I am not running I also enjoy hiking, cold water swimming, ski touring and sometimes, if you’re lucky, you’ll find me on a bike.

Testimonials

“I’ve been coached by Sophie and part of of Queerrunnings for almost 4 years now and it’s been the best decision! Over the years my running has improved significantly, not just down to the incredible bespoke coaching from Sophie but also being part of a brilliant, supportive club. The amount of knowledge and support has been invaluable to my running journey so far.”

Anna (She/They)

  • “A friend recommended me to Sophie to help rehab an injury and pain I couldnt shift. Her brilliant coaching approach and extensive knowledge has been incredible and gotten me from barely being able to run, to running distances I'd not dreamed of - and all pain free. The club too is super welcoming, supportive, knowledgeable and all with a great sense of humour. You won't regret joining!”

    Keri (They/Them)

  • “Thanks to Sophie’s brilliant coaching and the unwavering support of QR members, I went from being a fair weather runner to my first ultra in less than a year. I’d absolutely recommend QR to any queer person looking for a community that can help them achieve their running goals.”
