Kenny Stuart (born 25 February 1957 in Penrith[1]) is a former fell and road runner from Threlkeld in the Lake District.
His first full amateur season in 1983 was marked by close competition with John Wild who had won the previous year's championship.
[2] Stuart was also British champion in 1984 and 1985[3] and among the course records he set in those years were 1:02:18 at Skiddaw,[4] 1:25:34 at Ben Nevis,[5] 1:02:29 at Snowdon,[6] and 3:20:57 at the Ennerdale Horseshoe,[7] all of which still stand.
[9] In 1986, Stuart turned his attention to road running and won his debut marathon that year at Glasgow in 2:14:03.
He went on to set his best marathon time of 2:11:36 at Houston in 1989 but his career was curtailed by increasing allergy and virus problems.
