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.

The Cake Race - 29 April 2017

This is called the cake race, because you can bring a cake in lieu of the entry fee of £5.  There is a competition for the best cake and after the race, all the cakes are for eating and if you fancy one, it is yours in return for a £2 donation to local causes.  On to the race itself.  It is held over well trodden paths in the area surrounding the village of Diggle which is located between Oldham & Huddersfield.  It is a ten mile race with 1699 ft of ascent.

Richard Treitl was our only representative there and he finished in 240th position out of 278 finishers.
