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.

Red Rose Cross Country, Blackburn - 12 October 2024

A very strong run by Lucy Brown saw her finish with a top twenty place and 3rd V40.  In the ladies race, she was supported by Paula Cullen who ran her socks off and battled for places right up to the finish.  However, their efforts were in vain as it was five to count for team places. 

In the men's race, Gary Shaw stormed round the course, again to take a top twenty place and first V50 by a country mile.  Because he is over 70, Raymond Banks could have run over the ladies course, but he missed that race and therefore chose to run in the senior race.  It was lucky that he did, as he was our sixth counter, thus ensuring that we had a team place.  It was a bit of a dad's army team, as it was comprised of all vet runners.  As a result, we struggled in the overall positions, but did quite well in the vets race, finishing 3rd team.
