About Our Club

Lytham St Annes Road Runners Club is a friendly running club established in 1998. As well as road running we participate in athletics, cross country and fell running.

Each year we organise the renowned Green Drive Five (a 5 mile road race) and the St Annes Carnival 5k & Fun Run.

Whatever your standard of running, come along to Lytham YMCA, Mythop Road on a Tuesday evening night at 6:30pm or the shelter at Granny's Bay, Fairhaven on a Thursday morning at 6:00am and find out how quickly your running improves.

The Junior Section of our club train on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

You'll receive a warm welcome and will soon see how being a member of Lytham St Annes Road Runners will lead to many enjoyable competitive and social activities.

We have been awarded Clubmark accreditation by England Athletics. Read more on the England Athletics website.
