FROM rookie runner to international trail star in a decade is the inspiring and remarkable story of Damian Hall. This weekend (Sunday March 14) will mark the anniversary of when Hall, who lives in Box and represents Corsham Running Club, made his competitive debut in the Bath half marathon. In a normal world, Hall would have been on the start line in Great Pulteney Street to celebrate that anniversary, but the coronavirus pandemic has seen this year’s event put back to September 5. But it will still be a poignant moment for Hall as he reflects on how a former kick-about footballer was transformed into a record-breaking long-distance trail runner with a Great Britain vest in his collection.
