Accrington Road Runners

We are a friendly & sociable running club, with 130 members of mixed abilities. Our main training evening is Tuesday, from Wilsons Playing Field, BB5 5SF.

So, what brings you here then? Are you thinking about taking up running? Perhaps you’re already a runner? Or maybe you’re just curious? Let me tell you our story.
Accrington Road Runners were established in 1985, and our membership is growing each year, currently it stands at approx. 130 people, of all abilities. Throughout the year, we meet each Tuesday evening at Wilson's Playing Fields in Clayton-le-Moors, BB5 5SF. Where there are changing and shower facilities available. Training runs begin at 6. 30pm and are typically split into 4 groups of abilities, so that no-one is left struggling, or finds themselves out of their depth. Don't forget though, no one gets left behind. During the darker evenings we tend to stick to the roads, but as it gets lighter we like to venture off-road. But we always try to vary the routes. As we’re a sociable bunch, we also organise things like ‘Summer Runs’, where we run from a different location and go for some food & drink afterwards.
