Terry Leach – Club President

They say you’re only as good as your last race. Which is why Terry’s last race was in 1996 after completing the Adelaide Marathon in under 3 hours. But after overcoming calf issues that have plagued him for 14 years, he’s making a comeback! (Running tip: shorter, faster strides.)
Terry’s other job (the one that actually pays money) is as a firefighter with the Metropolitan Fire Service. He uses the down time on night shifts and weekends to catch up on club work.
When not working, running, or firefighting, Terry likes to progress Elaine’s ‘to do’ list on their old cottage set on 4 acres in the Adelaide Hills. But like the marathon, that list just never seems to end.
