Martinus Evans, a prominent advocate for slow running and founder of the “Slow Runners Club,” has announced his resignation from the club. This decision comes after a period of growing disappointment and frustration with the club’s direction and its response to his concerns.

Evans, who is known for his efforts to promote inclusivity and encourage people of all fitness levels to embrace running, had been a central figure in the club since its inception. The Slow Runners Club was founded on the principle that running should be accessible to everyone, regardless of pace. However, in recent months, Evans has expressed dissatisfaction with how the club was evolving.

Evans was reportedly concerned that the club was becoming more focused on competitive aspects rather than maintaining its inclusive and supportive environment. Additionally, there were complaints about the lack of responsiveness to feedback from members who felt that their needs and voices were not being adequately addressed.

Evans’s departure marks a significant turning point for the Slow Runners Club. His leadership had been instrumental in fostering a welcoming atmosphere for runners who might otherwise feel excluded from traditional running communities. His resignation raises questions about the future direction of the club and whether it can continue to uphold the values that made it unique.

The Slow Runners Club now faces the challenge of navigating this transition and addressing the concerns that led to Evans’s departure. It remains to be seen how the club will adapt and whether it can regain the trust and enthusiasm of its members moving forward.
