Last weekend saw the annual County Championships at Blackpool (Lancashire) and Wavertree (Merseyside). I will apologies now if I have missed anybody competing in another county but I think I’ve got you all. I’ll start with Lancashire ‘cos I was there and managed to catch a few of the performances. Our under-15’s (especially the ladies) […]

Another British Record for Kirsty
In November Kirsty Longley set the British record in the V45 women’s 5km at Podium in Barrowford.

The Gamble pays off as LPS go Day Trippin’
Apologies all for the delay in getting a report for last Saturday’s Mid-Lance done, but the results have been, shall we say, a little ropey. Anyways I think they are mostly there now, although Mark Hudsons 1500m time will do more than just raise eyebrows. 20+ intrepid souls assembled in the Edge Hill car […]

Fancy a social run?
Weekly Social Runs Recently we’ve seen a number of people want to train and run with the club but have been put off because they felt that they weren’t at the standard of some of the existing members and maybe felt a little out of their depth. That’s not what we want and as an […]

We were delighted to welcome back old friends to the club and, of course to award the inaugral Wally Bridson trophy – presented […]
