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.

Bruges marathon - 21 October 2018

Two weeks ago, Ian Livesey recorded a 2 hour 31 minute time in the Chester Marathon.  Most people would have accepted that and had a recovery period before embarking on their next challenge.  Not so Ian.  Two weeks after one marathon, he entered another.

Another issue was that on his visit to Bruges, he got deviated from concentrating on running by beer tasting and goodness knows what else.  The result was a time that did not reflect his true capabilities.  

But we are amateur runners and maybe a fun weekend in Bruges, coupled with a bit of a run out, was a great break from every day living.  So well done Ian.  Two marathons in two weeks coupled with a a bit of time out on the town sounds like a great work / life balance.
