We have a membership of over 300 runners, comprising of women and men aged from 18 – 80, plus a vibrant juniors section with 300 members.

A fabulous performance from Team Orion at the vets championships. Gold medal for the v40 men (Nick Shasha, Barny Foot, Bob Glasgow, Adam Baker), silver for the v50 men (Colin Read, Dean Moy, Neil Swift, Eric Paul) including a magnificent 2nd place for Colin Read. The ladies also performed with great credit with Christine Inch winning bronze in v50. The weather was pretty grim so thanks to everyone who braved the cold and gave it their best shot. Full results are available in the winter results section
