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.

Lister Park Park Run - 29 March 2025

Tony Kingham & Alistair Brownlee Tony Kingham & Alistair Brownlee

It was a special day at this park run as it marked the 500th occasion when Tony Kingham had been a volunteer.  Tony Kingham is a legend in that along with Selby Brock, they together ran the cross country club at Bradford Grammar School.  In doing so, they introduced the sport of running to thousands of young boys, some of whom went on to be national stars such as Richard Nururker and Alistair & Jonny Brownlee. That was in spite of their attitude that anyone could be a member of the club irrespective of ability, so long as they turned up and trained and turned out for races.  And every week, in the cross country season, they both gave up their Saturdays to take the boys to their cross country races.  Many of those "boys", now middle aged men (and some more) turned out to celebrate his milestone with park running.  It seems that half the world had the same thought too.  Sam Wadsworth was one of those boys who was introduced to running by Tony and Selby.
