Mel Steventon
Founder, Director
Mel founded Due North Events ltd in 2017 and has gained Run Leader and Walk Leader qualifications and continues to be the main run & walk leader.
Mel took the decision in 2024 to transfer the company from a Limited by Shares company to a Community Interest Company ( Not for Profit Social Enterprise ) After working closely with third sector groups since the Covid19 lockdown and working hard to increase female participation at races as well working towards a more ethnically diverse participation it became obvious that the companies social aims were a higher priority than profit making.
Mel remains Race Director for the now Not for Profit Trail Races.
Mel herself is a keen trail runner and walker. Personal achievements include completing the Bob Graham round in 2019. First Female to consecutively complete all 214 Wainwrights in 2020.
She is a Yorkshire lass living in Cumbria, where one Northern accent struggles to understand the other, but Mel travels back n forth between the two beautiful counties to deliver running, walking and outdoor skills sessions.
