Meet the team

Heart & Soul Racing started with two mates, Logan and Paul, who met at the gym and decided running should be more fun and a lot less intimidating. We’re now a team of six (still very small), and between us we’re into running, lifting and pretty much anything that gets us outdoors. We run events in the North East of England to help you smash your goals or just have a brilliant time.
