When Katherine West‑Dargon ran her first Royal Parks Half Marathon two years ago, her twin boys were just 8 months old! Now she is back for more and we are delighted with her support for this year´s event in London.

Katherine is Head of Venues & Partnerships at Venufindr and admits the challenge pushed her “both mentally and physically.

“Now, I’m excited to be back at it, driven by my love for setting new goals and the added motivation of raising money for a meaningful cause, making the effort even more worthwhile.

“For me, running is more than just crossing the finish line—it’s about pushing boundaries. Leading Venufindr and growing the team while being a mum is a challenge in itself, but I’ve always believed in stretching my limits. Training for this race keeps me focused, motivated, and inspired.

“What makes it even more special is the connection with industry peers who share the same values, mindset, and enthusiasm. The camaraderie and support along the course are what make this event so memorable. I had such a fantastic experience the first time around—why wouldn’t I sign up again? I can’t wait to take it on once more!”
