Burnden have long been a recognised running club on the roads and in the cross-country leagues for some time now. We are also making inroads and becoming known in the fell-running community. It is now time to try to get some recognition in the discipline of track and field.

Northern Masters (www.nvac.co.uk) host several meetings a year and any vet can compete in any of these except the Championships in May, you need to be a member of Northern Masters to compete there. If you are a veteran and would like to chance your arm throwing the javelin, or see just how fast you can run a 400 metre lap in, these meetings are a great place to start. I have put down the dates and venues of these meetings below, but if you would like any more details or just want to discuss taking part contact me on paulc090554@gmail.com or see me on a Monday or a Wednesday night at training. The cost of taking part is £5 for up to 4 events! The track events run are the 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500 and 3000 metres. The field events vary at each venue. 7 PM START
