Chapel Allerton Road Runners

Running from Chapel Allerton Lawn Tennis and Squash Club has been a tradition for decades (despite a significant hill to get to and from the place!). A formal running club was first affiliated in 1992 with a relatively small band of enthusiasts. Some of the original lime green nylon shorts and vests can still be spotted pounding the local streets to this day. Since then we have grown in strength and numbers, and currently have nearly 100 members.

We take our running seriously at Chapel A, but it’s fair to say we take the social side seriously too. It’s a reasonable bet that you’ll find a strong running contingency socialising after each major running event throughout the year, accompanied by BBQs, fry ups, curries, live music etc. Indeed we pride ourselves on being able to take more cash over the bar at our shin digs than any other section of the Club (more of that later).
