BURNDEN Roadrunners are inviting new members to join for the coming season.

The Smithills-based running club are small but active, and offer a friendly welcome to anyone who is interested in getting involved - whether they are new to the sport or seasoned runners.

The club welcomes all ages and abilities, and in recent years have had a number of new members who have come to running through the Race for Life events, or through training for their first charity run.

Burnden organise their own club championship covering a wide range of events, and also compete in the Central Lancs Grand Prix and South East Lancs Cross Country League. Alternatively, some members are simply looking for someone to run with occasionally.

Anyone who would like to join us on a training run should just turn up at Smithills Sports Centre at 7.15pm on any Monday evening.

The club runs cater for all abilities, and all you need is your running shoes. Further information can also be found on the club's website www.burnden.fsnet.co.uk
