Signing up for a run:

The runs for each week are posted on Facebook & you can book via the Runner App, or via the Runtogether (England Athletics) website. Groups are mainly advertised by distance & time & are, usually, available to book by Monday. Please make sure your details are up to date. The run leaders are provided with your emergency contacts & any medical conditions that you have disclosed (these details are available to run leaders via an App on their phones, it's crucial they can access this information whilst out on a run with you).

​

Affiliation (optional):

Lakers is a free running club but there is the option to become an affiliated member of England Athletics.  Their fee will be £23 for April 2026 to March 2027.  Becoming an affiliated member is necessary for some races such as the West Yorkshire Winter League but it also allows you to enter other races at a discounted price.

Lakers kit:

There is no requirement to wear Lakers kit except for certain races such as the West Yorkshire Winter League (wearing a club shirt is compulsory).  If you wish to purchase kit, details can be found here.
