Brian Porter

As well as raising over £10000 for charity, Brian is always happy to share his knowledge and expertise about organising sport events with anyone who asks, and will go to great lengths to support other athletes and organisers. Brian's love of the Fylde Coast does not stop at running marathons; he teaches Sport Science at Blackpool and The Fylde College and he is constantly searching for opportunities for his students to develop their skills. Brian's efforts mean his students have been to The London Marathon and Great North Run, providing sport massage for The Anthony Nolan Trust. When he is not supporting athletes, race organisers or students you will hear Brian address at AFC Fylde Football club where he provides stadium announcements as a volunteer. He is an enthusiastic athletics official and as the Race director of the Freckleton Half Marathon made it one of the UK's favourite races.
