Paul Spackman
International Mountain Leader
Between running trips and races, I also manage my own leadership, team building and mentoring business. This brings the best leadership elements of my various experiences into the outdoors where I help others define their own leadership style.
I absolutely love running. Trail running has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember and has always been core to my fitness and mental health. Once I left the Army, running remained a big part of my life and I suddenly found myself craving challenges to go further and higher. Eventually, it lead me to completing the UTMB twice and set the foundation for a sport that truly makes me happy. I love to run in all weathers and all seasons – it’s such a wonderful way to connect with nature and the environment.
It is always an absolute pleasure and privilege to show my guests around some of the most beautiful mountain regions in the world. I love to meet new people, share stories of the mountains together and enjoy the journey.
Sharing my experience and helping guests to improve their running through coaching and skill development is something I particularly enjoy.
