Membership fees

Despite the name, the club participates in all disciplines of running, fell, cross country and road and welcomes applications from runners of all abilities to join us. If you are not sure if the club is for you, why not come to one of our training sessions or one of our regular pub runs. You will be under no obligation to join, but you will get a feel for the club and a better idea if the club is for you. You can merely turn up to a training session unannounced, but it would be better if you contacted our club secretary first (details on the contacts page) and let him know that you will be coming and he will make sure that whoever is leading the group will look out for you. If you are an absolute beginner to running, you too are most welcome to join us in one of our sessions, but please contact our secretary first and he will make sure that you will have a programme with which you are comfortable.

  • Red Rose Cross Country, Blackburn - 12 October 2024

    A very strong run by Lucy Brown saw her finish with a top twenty place and 3rd V40.  In the ladies race, she was supported by Paula Cullen who ran her socks off and battled for places right up to the finish.  However, their efforts were in vain as it was five to count for team places. 

    In the men's race, Gary Shaw stormed round the course, again to take a top twenty place and first V50 by a country mile.  Because he is over 70, Raymond Banks could have run over the ladies course, but he missed that race and therefore chose to run in the senior race.  It was lucky that he did, as he was our sixth counter, thus ensuring that we had a team place.  It was a bit of a dad's army team, as it was comprised of all vet runners.  As a result, we struggled in the overall positions, but did quite well in the vets race, finishing 3rd team.

  • Lancashireman Off Road Marathon - 29 September 2024

    The Lancashireman is a 27 mile event covering the off-road moorland, tow paths, fields and hills along The Burnley Way.  John Boothman's legs had not fully recovered from his 63 mile ultra race last week, but nevertheless he took on this challenge.  The weather was perfect, but the going underfoot was boggy in places and the terrain was challenging. 

    Just put in a very good performance to finish 9th overall and first M60.

  • Hardmoors 60 - 21 September 2024

    Hardmoors 60 - 21 September 2024

    Saturday saw John Boothman take on yet another ultra challenge - this time the 63 mile route along the Cleveland Way coastal path from Guiseborough to Filey.  There was a coolish North Easterly breeze and apart from mist in places. conditions were ideal.  Once more, due to business and family commitments, John entered a long race without adequate training or preparation.  He started well and completed the first 10 miles up to Saltburn by the Sea at a good pace and was going well.  He continued in similar vein until he got to the halfway point just beyond Whitby but by Robin Hoods Bay, he was starting to feel tired, but despite this, even by Ravenscar, he was still clocking up a good time.  However, that was 40 miles into the race and at that point, the lack of training began to take its toll.  He was now going at a much slower rate and any thoughts of where any other vet 60s might be in the field receded into the background of his mind.  It was then all about getting to the finish.  The next major town was Scarborough and from a runners' point of view, crossing it to get to Cayton Bay seems like an endless trudge.  But cross it he did and after a cup of hot chocolate, he started on the last leg to Filey. By this time it was dark and thick mist enveloped the coastal path to the point where you could barley see your hand in front of your face.  In those conditions, all runners were reduced to walking and John was joined by a group of others who were slowly making their way to the finish.  They stuck together as a group, but as they approached Filey, John conjured up a burst of energy from somewhere and broke free to actually finish the race at a good trot. 

    Afterwards, a tired John Boothman expressed a quiet satisfaction at having finished the race.  Indeed, he had good reason to be satisfied as he finished the race in 26th position which was a vast improvement on the 43rd place which he achieved four years ago.
