Dawn started running again in 2016, having stopped for a few years due to having her two children. She joined Durham Mums On The Run and hasn't stopped running since. She finds running gives her the "me time" that every busy mum needs.

Having initially decided that she hated hills, she has since discovered that trail running and hills are where she is happiest. Having said that, you may find her running the occasional road race or parkrun with her children when she's not going off road.
