Off-road the brilliant Calderdale Way Relay returns on September 26th. This Britain’s biggest off road club event and is great fun. If you wish to run, please contact Steve Taylor
Road Championships
There are still places in the Green Drive 5 (October 24th), which doubles as the Lancashire county 5 mile championships and the Preston 10 (November 21st) which is also the Lancashire and Northern 10 mile championship races.
