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.

Catforth 10K - 11 June 2017

Report by Terry Lonergan

I generally do a gentle 3 miler the day before a race. Yesterday, as more hardy folk, prepared to battle up the Weets as the rain continued the lash down, I shuffled along the sodden canal at a pace well over 10 minute per mile; thinking tomorrow at the CATFORTH 10k I'll need to be doing 2 minutes per mile better!
The only person I saw gave me no encouragement. Merely, saying, "Take it easy, old timer!" Cheeky bugger, I thought.
As long as you're prepared to put a number on a vest and the adrenaline kicks in "taking it easy" is not really an option, is it? We chase times, some even PBs, or on day's like today we combat the elements and chase fast starters from half way.

Chasing a sub 50 proved successful, chasing a further post surgery best 10K time proved successful and was pleased with 7 places taken from halfway. All in all a pleasing run.
Have to thank Catherine Ferro for sharing the effort for several miles. Thanks to Steve Ashcroft and team for putting on the event.
