Logan Smith, a three-time Run Norwich champion, is launching a monthly run club at OP's coffee shop in Bank Plain on 25 October. The inaugural session will feature a 5km run at 10.30am followed by a Q&A where Smith will share coaching tips. Smith, who is a member of City of Norwich AC, won the Run Norwich 10k race in 2019, 2022 and 2023.

Smith has represented Great Britain and Northern Ireland internationally and was the eighth-fastest British finisher at the 2025 London Marathon. He finished runner-up at Run Norwich this year with a time of 30.02, the second-fastest time ever recorded on the course.

Cafe owner Oliver Lee-Stevens said the series will have a different guest athlete joining each month and has been designed for runners of all abilities. He said the aim is to bring people together to run and share stories without pressure to chase pace. OP's coffee shop will partner with Smith's sponsor ON Running to offer a giveaway to attendees. Entry is free with 50 spaces available to book on Eventbrite.
