Adam Buck

Welcome to the 8th edition of the Meet the R4R Runners where we get to meet Big Buck! A fellow moustache-wearing man, Buck and I immediately connected over our ability to grow hair on our upper lips.

But in getting to know the man behind the Mo, you realise Buck is a friendly giant who is happy to have a yarn with anyone. As with everyone in these articles, R4R is lucky to have people like Buck.
