Founded in 1922 we welcome runners of all standards and abilities and beginners will be particularly encouraged during our Tuesday and Thursday night training runs. A list of all the training venues (Summer and Winter) can be found on the following link - Training

Each month we produce a newsletter giving details of forthcoming events, features and race reports and this will be posted to all members.

The Club can boast many successes at all three disciplines having won the Lancashire team championships on several occasions. We have several outstanding individuals who have won races and represented the county and England. We are particularly proud of our Veterans’ Section which has swept all before it on the road, country and fell. Our Ladies have a second training session on Thursday evenings and are the envy of most other local clubs. Although we have no track several of our athletes compete in this discipline.

On the social scene we are proud of our events and impromptu gatherings.
