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.

Blacko Fell Race - 4 September 2016

Chris Smale 2nd and Rachel Villiers 1st lady.

Blacko is one of those few remaining fell races where everyone, including the juniors set off together.  (Lothersdale next week, is another such race).  The races is only 1.4 miles in length and as usual, the juniors set off at a pace, leaving the seniors to try and catch them.  The old heads like Alan Life & Chris Smale (nice to see him back running again) know how to pace themselves and they finished in first and second places respectively.  Shortly behind them in fifth position was James Tingle.  Further down the field, Jack Villiers having set off with the rest of the cavalry charge, found himself in front of his mum.  Having attained such a position, he was not going to relinquish it easily and he managed to hold her at bay until he reached the finishing line.  Mum still finished first lady though.

2 Chris Smale 8:03
5 James Tingle 8:32
12 Jack Villiers 9:32 (2nd U16 boy)
13 Rachel Villiers 9:41 (first woman)
