About Stuart
Stuart had been with the club since its start as ‘Worcester Joggers’, supporting hundreds of members over the years with his Sunday morning marathon training, leading groups on club nights and convincing many into running their first marathon; himself completing his 100th marathon at Snowdonia in October 2012.
Stuart Wild sadly passed away on Friday, 1st March 2013 while out walking with his wife Sian Wild.
Stuart was a true inspiration and will be sadly missed by all of us.
