About

Hello, my name is Valene Patterson and I’m married to my lovely husband Brian for 21 years and we have 6 children, they’re aged 4-19 years 🙏💕

As a Christian, I have a lifetime experience and success in the fitness industry.

EXPERIENCE & ACHIEVEMENTS in SPORT

To name a few achievements, winning the Mourne Ramble in Northern Ireland, was my first main team related fitness and orientation success. Before, running the highest mountain in Northern Ireland, with a height of 850metres, Slieve Donard Mountain Race, held in 1999, saw me place 1st lady home, setting a brint ‘New Record’ at 1 hour 17minutes 🙏🏃‍➡️🏔️🥇🙌

I later represented Northern Ireland at the ‘World Fell Running Championship 1999’, Kota-Kinabalu mountain race, Malaysia🏔️ I placed 4th at the British Championships and 1st in the Northern Ireland, Hill & Dale Fell Running Championships race series.

Marathons soon became an alternative to Mountain Running and thousands of pounds for many charities was raised throughout the 5 Full Marathons and 5 Half Marathons I have completed so far! 🏃🙌🤩

In August 2022, with Mountain running still in our blood, my husband and I ran and climbed Carrauntoohil, 1039m, Irelands highest peak, based in Killarney.

We raised, £700 for two worthy charities, Cancer Research and Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
