My
STORY
Steven Melligan-Hart/ Founder and Director
Hi Everyone, my name is Steve, a dedicated husband and father, In pursuit of creating a dream by leading a meaningful businesses with lasting impact for all.
My Journey
I first joined Romsey Road Runners just over one year ago after undergoing two hip operations and wanting to build up my confidence in a safe and structured environment. I soon took on the position as a run coach & most recently the responsibilities of the club Race Director for our very popular 5 mile beer race taking place in June.
I very quickly regained my form and got back to enjoying road running distances from 5k to Half Marathon and achieving many PB's along the way, while also dipping my toes into the Ultra trail races and enjoying every moment and the people I have met.

What inspires me
The dictionary says the definition of inspiration is: “The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something”. For me, this is it. Before routine, before motivation, there has to come inspiration. That little spark that makes us wonder, “Wow, what if I could do that?”
I’m inspired by my brilliant running club, many of whom are just starting their running journeys and are already achieving things they hadn’t previously thought possible. I’m inspired by each and every runner I see when I’m out – the runners who make me feel determined to get back home, get my own trainers on and get out onto the trails.
