Affectionately known as “The Boss”, Sue is our first and only PRC President. She has masterminded our rejuvenation since 2017, first of all with the tremendously successful and ongoing Sole Sisters initiative, but also by persevering with her “Pet Paphos Park Run Project”, now in full swing very much as a team effort.

You may not know she has 40 marathons under her belt, but the stamina and determination involved in those 1,700 Kms of endurance racing, is no more impressive than the drive she has shown in raising the profile of PRC in the local community.

Sue is our unofficial Sales and Marketing Director whose contribution to our success has been second to none.  She brings ideas and drive to every aspect of our activities, but was too modest to write all this stuff about herself!

Started running at 12 years old for Woodford Green Athletic Club where my uncle was a world record holding Race Walker. 

I represented Essex Schools at cross country, track and rugby, awards I achieved included 1500m bronze medallist in the London Youth Games and first Junior in the Roding Valley Half Marathon with a time of 82 mins and also a silver medal for pole vault. I have run 5 marathons (including one in the USA), 40+ half marathons and 100s of 10km. I am also qualified in Archery, Self Defence, First Aid and a Mental Health Instructor. 

I joined PRC in October 2023 starting the Couch to 5km program. In 2025 I was appointed the Chairman of PRC and look forward to representing the club as both a committee member and runner.

Up to the age of 54 I could barely run a bath let alone run for a bus!  I was overweight and had not exercised since school so I decided to lose the weight and get fit!  Time, hard work and lockdown helped! I did C25K on my own with the app just to get out of the house! I lost the weight and felt fitter, but would never have joined a club.

And then this club and its members took me in! I now run 5 – 7k, 3 or 4 times a week so the message is, no matter where you start from you are welcome here at PRC, just as I was.

As a committee member I am hoping to return the favour to all club members who have welcomed me and coached me (you know who you are!)

I was always a gym junkie but didn’t think I could run until I was talked into it by my daughter.   After 6 weeks of pain we ran 2 miles without stopping, she quit, went off to university and I continued. I discovered the beauty of exercising and socialising at the same time, so the gym soon became a distant memory! Since then I have run several races, including 3 Half Marathons.

In the UK I owned and ran a roofing company with my husband. I did all the finance, scheduling, database, health and safety, all good experiences for being on the committee of our growing PRC.

For fun I do my own nails, I’ll be the one running with the colourful talons, always a great topic among the ladies! 

Since joining PRC 5 years ago, Sole Sisters has grown and flourished, I’m passionate about our ladies group and encouraging more people to get off the sofa and run.  

Having spent time on and off in Cyprus since 2021, I had the good fortune to encounter a posse of Wheelnutters, which provided my entry into PRC.

The cycling side of the club has developed significantly since then, from twice weekly bimbles around Coral Bay and Sea Caves, to longer and more challenging Awayday and Adventure rides, and a growth in numbers has allowed designing rides for riders of different abilities (while hopefully all ending up at the same coffee stop!).

With a technology background, I aim to assist with improving the way  in  which  events  are  organised and communicated, providing a better of view of what is happening for members, while reducing the time and effort expended by organisers in making it all happen.

I loves walking and after leaving the flat of the Netherlands I took like a fish to water walking the hills of Cyprus. I have always been into physical activity – not just walking - and was involved in supporting the World Cycling Track Championships in Leicester. PRC walking group started in January 2020, and I stepped up to the plate that autumn.  The walks are growing steadily - up to 45 walkers so far. 

We cover around 5km to 8km, over varied terrain, flat, hilly, coastal and countryside, and I intend to promote greater involvement of members by incorporating some PRC running routes, with the help of runners who enjoy walking.  There are many walks and no shortage of people who I feel sure would be willing to become involved in leading the group on new walks from time to time.

I have been running since the age of 11, started with cross country, joined my first club shortly after and gained representative honours at area, county and national level along the way.

I started coaching in my mid 30's and rose to Senior Coach Level in distance running. I was Senior Distance Coach for North Gloucestershire for 5 years. I have a passion for coaching others (also qualified football and fitness coach) to achieve their goals. It doesn’t matter to me if you run for the social aspect or are trying to represent your country, you are still a runner!

I don't know everything, but I will always find you an answer.

If you want advice......just ask.

Remember, always run with a smile on your face!

I retired from the oil industry at the end of 2019, became resident in Cyprus and joined PRC not long after. I’ve been swimming competitively since I was ten years old at various domestic and international levels. I also have some teaching qualifications and a  good deal of competition coaching experience.

We started the PRC open water swimming group three years ago, rebranded this year as PRC Wave Warriors and now have over 30 club member followers.

I also enjoy easy runs and cycling with other club members, and do odd jobs for the club as required.  Remember: “If swimming were easy it would be called cricket”.
