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. Membership fees for the club are as follows:
  • Seniors

He's back! 

After quite some time of not racing, Andy Collins made his comeback solo race this weekend and found himself competing against Ted Mason who was running on his own midden.  Despite his age, Ted, unsurprisingly, took the honours,  Before the finish, all runners have to sink a pint of ale and both Ted and Andy are adept at that.  He finished third, which is a brilliant run for someone not yet race fit.  Watch out for future races.

103 finished.

 

Jed Whitfield, Gary Shaw/Sam Horrocks, David Poole/Julian Hood and David Mirfield represented the club in this event, which this year was hosted by Ted Mason in and around Appletreewick

The team came home in 30th place in a time of 4:17:31.

We did not have a ladies team this year.

It was wild at wet at this race.  It was reasonably dry for the first half, but went downhill from there.  John Boothman continues to race without the corresponding training and the cracks are beginning to show.  He enjoyed a good race for the first fifteen miles, but then his pace began to drop off and the last 2K were a disaster.  In view of his lack of preparation and training John thought that finishing around the four hour mark would be a good result, so given the situation in which he found himself,  he was happy with his time.

Further down the field Raymond Banks had a good run to finish 4th in his category

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

Written by

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.
