History of Freck & Warton Running Club
In March 2017, a group of people got together to start trying to run 5k. Enough people completed C25K in the area, that the first outlines of a running club was born. From this, a committee was formed and the club grew into much more than C25K.
Since March 2018, the club has become affiliated with England Athletics and has funded the training and development of a team of dedicated running coaches, through the England Athletics LiRF programme.
The club designed a team kit and adopted the slogan 'Everyone's a Winner', an ethos we really live at our club. Our club shirts have changed a bit since the club began and we now have a new logo, designed by Kiera Fry.
In 2019, Chris Adams was appointed Club Chairperson. As a seasoned trail and ultra-runner, he introduced trail running to the club as a regular feature of our calendar and brought more structured club runs to our regular weekly sessions.
In 2022, the club won Fylde Active Community Club of the Year Award.
The group now meets twice every week in locations in Freckleton, Warton and surrounding areas, and meets regularly throughout the year for social and other running events.

Our Vision
F&WRC's motto is 'Everyone's a Winner'. This is something everyone in the club lives by. We cater for and celebrate everyone and all abilites of runner. We have runners who only run for mental health and some who race for PBs and podium places. We have runners who don't fancy more than 5k, and those who are training for 100 mile races. At F&WRC, everyone's achievements are celebrated for what they mean to that individual.
