Kevin Quinn
The founder of Real Runners Ltd, Kevin is a popular face on the British Endurance scene as well as being one of the most respected and treasured providers of Athletics and Cross Curricular Physical Education in South London and Surrey. Kevin has covered all bases of the runner's approach to life. He has a degree in sports sciences and education, backed up by an MA in physiology and nutrition from St. Mary's University. Here, he trained and raced alongside some of Britain’s best athletes - an experience which earned him a UKA National Gold medal and several personal bests over his specialist events (1500m & 5000m).
It was during his time at St. Mary's that Kevin decided that more needed to be done at the grass roots level of athletics: soon afterwards, Real Runners Ltd was born. Having worked for both Nike and Adidas, Kevin has good relations with the leading authorities in running apparel - definitely the man to see if you want a kit deal!
In 2009 Kevin was selected, along with some of Britain’s most promising athletes, to become a Nike Ambassador; a scheme set up by Nike to help support athletes reach their athletic potential. The Aldershot, Farnham & District athlete is also trained in biomechanics, and eats, sleeps and breathes running. His thirst for developing his knowledge and helping fellow runners is never quenched. In addition he has aided many aspiring and talented athletes to local athletics clubs solidifying a concrete foundation for the future of the sport.
