Runner Spotlight Q&A - Kate Conway, Chief Executive of YMCA Humber

Runner Spotlight: Kate Conway, Chief Executive of YMCA Humber

In our very first Runner Spotlight Q&A, we sit down with Kate Conway, Chief Executive of YMCA Humber. Kate will be taking on the incredible challenge of running the full Yorkshire Marathon, leading a dedicated YMCA Humber team on Sunday 19th October.

This year, the team will be competing in both the full marathon and the marathon relay at the Yorkshire Marathon Festival. But for Kate and her fellow runners, it’s about much more than crossing the finish line.

Every step they take will help raise vital funds to improve the Kent Street Youth Hub - a safe, inspiring space at the heart of the East Marsh where young people can learn, grow, and thrive.

Follow Kate’s journey, get inspired by her story, and support the YMCA Humber team as they run for a stronger, brighter future for local young people.

How you can help

YMCA Humber is asking the public to get behind the campaign by donating via the team’s JustGiving page, sharing the campaign on social media, or simply cheering the team on in the weeks ahead.

Every donation will go directly towards improvements at the Kent Street Youth Hub, from brighter, more welcoming communal areas to upgraded equipment and enhanced support spaces.
