A Southport running club is putting in the miles as founders celebrate its third birthday.
Southport Strollers Running Club began in September 2018 with just 20 attendees, a figure which had now rocketed to an incredible 125 runners three years later.
To mark the occasion dozens of members met to eat cake, drink, soft fizz and, of course, take on a celebratory run.
Committee member Lee Bibby told OTS News “The ethos of our club has always been to celebrate the personal achievements of every running member, whether that be a first time non-stop run or completing an ultra marathon.
“Running ability isn’t judged at Southport Strollers, we want everyone to have the opportunity to set personal running goals, achieve their own success, enjoy supporting others and be proud of the community that we’ve all created.
“We have a team of 14 qualified run leaders and a committee of 9 people, all of whom are volunteers who support the growth and success of the club, but most importantly it’s our members who make it such a special club and one we’re all proud to belong.”
Southport Strollers runs a variety of events on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, with annual membership available from just £15 per year.
