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.

BOFRA Wasdale Show - 11 October 2025

Robert Cranham made the long trip up to the Western Lakes for this final race of the Bofra season and on his way, he stopped off at Muncaster Castle to win the parkrun.  He finished the race in 13th position.  What could he have done without the park run?  John Boothman is no doubt looking on and smiling.

Berlin Marathon - 21 September 2025

This was the 6th major marathon for John Boothman this year in his pursuit of the Abbott's Six Star medal.  This is an exclusive award to all those finishing the six top marathons in the world, in the same year.  As usual, John did not do enough training for this event.  He is just too busy a man.  His objective in this race was therefore to finish as it was the culmination of his running this year.  There were many people who dropped out of the race, mainly due to heat exhaustion, but John managed to keep wet and hydrated.  His finish time was one of his slowest, but he achieved his objective and is now the proud owner of the Six Star Medal.  It is yet another milestone in John's remarkable running career.
