Behind every great running club is a group of people who make sure everything ticks along nicely behind the scenes. Our committee is a dedicated bunch of volunteers who give up their time to keep Haxby Runners running — organising events, managing memberships, handling the finances, and making sure the club remains a welcoming place for everyone. They're the reason you can just turn up, lace up, and enjoy your run without worrying about the rest.
