Christmas Social Runs
Those fortunate not to be working on Christmas Eve can start the celebrations with the traditional Clayton Christmas Eve Run on Pendle from Barley at 11am. Meet at Barley Car Park for a steady and sociable run of around one and a half hours led by Steve Whittaker. Andy Armstrong will be there with our Juniors, so don’t forget your Santa hats! Post run refreshments in the Pendle Inn (a pint or two!) or the Barley Cabin.
And just after Christmas, there’s Mick Green’s Christmas Run at 1pm on Saturday 28th December from Memorial Park, Great Harwood. Meet at the bottom corner of the park for an off-road run of around two hours at a very steady pace. Post run refreshments (food and drink) at the Pub Royal. Please contact Mick Green on 01254 231650 or 07455 990989 if you plan to attend so he can let the pub know how many to cater for.
All our members are very welcome at both these steady and sociable runs.
Happy Christmas everyone!
