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.

Mid Lancs Cross Country, Townley - 14 January 2017

It does not seem four years ago that we first joined this league and put a team out in Division Four.  We gained promotion that year and in each of the subsequent years and  after only four races in this season, we are already Mid Lancs Cross Country Champions.  Quite an achievement which says a lot about the team spirit within the club.

But our success is not just confined to the men.  After another brilliant performance today from our women left them leading division two, having taken maximum points in every race this season, and they also cannot now be beaten and they are Division Two Champions and assured of promotion to Division One next year.  The strength and spirit of the ladies squad is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that the ladies 'B' team is heading Division Three and the ladies V35 team are 2nd, but on equal points with the top club Wigan. 

 Finally, it was only last year that we started a junior section and yet our U11 boys are leading their league.  However, there is more work for them to do finish top at the end of the season.

Great all round individual performances and great team spirit today.  The individual finishing positions were:
