FORDY RUNS RUNNING CLUB

FORDY RUNS Running Club was formed to offer everyday runners a running club that was truly inclusive, with no barrier to entry.

As part of our commitment to providing our runners with the correct environment to thrive, we set up our committee when we formed. The roles were selected from the criteria provided to us by England Athletics, and we feel these roles will provide our runners the framework in which our club can operate optimally. 

Each member of the committee agrees to take on the responsibilities of that role and do them to the best of their abilities.
