Liverpool & District Cross Country Union

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 […]

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 […]

YOU’VE GOT TO BE IN IT TO WIN IT!   ……And the odds are much better than the National Lottery.   Last month we relaunched the club tote. This is a great opportunity to support the club whilst having a chance to win yourself.   Each number costs £5 per month with £2.50 going into […]

Earlier this month we hosted our 1st awards evening for many years. The evening was co-ordinated superbly by Fiona Casey and ensured that we had a really good setting for the night.  We were delighted to welcome back old friends to the club and, of course to award the inaugral Wally Bridson trophy – presented […]

Albert ‘Bertie’ Knowles had been involved in athletics for over 70 years. As a young boy growing up in post […]

The annual January mud fest at Witton Park lived up to expectations as our athletes took part in the Lancashire Cross Country Championships, many of whom looked like they were auditioning for the Persil automatic adverts at the end (ask your mum or dad). It’s always great to see our younger athletes turn out for […]

Geoff was Liverpool & District cross country champion in 1961 and 1962. He was active club […]

Hats off to anyone who ran this weekend. Whether that was doing the front crawl at Ormskirk Park run swim event, Skelm’s attempt to recreate American Werewolf in London at the L&D cross country at the Beacon or those making in up the mid lancs team at Lancaster. Literally hats off to those there because […]
