This week, Skelmersdale Boundary Harriers and the wider local running community came together to remember and celebrate the life of one of our much-loved members, Mark Doyle, who sadly passed away on his 51st birthday after a brave battle with cancer. Mark was someone who truly represented everything that is special about our club. He was kind, supportive and always willing to help others. Whether it was at a club run, a race, a parkrun event or helping fellow runners, Mark w

Good news! We've arranged a pre-order window for club kit until the end of July. The shop is always open, but ordering during this period means we can place a bulk order, saving on delivery costs and making collection easier. Once the order arrives, we'll bring it along to a Thursday club run for everyone to collect. If you'd prefer your items sooner, just leave a note in the comments box when placing your order. If you've been thinking about some new club kit, now's a great

Wondering what it’s like to take on the couch to 5k journey? Bee has written a great blog about her experience - thanks Bee! Last year, I somehow got talked into joining the couch to 5k being run by Skelmersdale Boundary Harriers. I will openly admit, I am not one of life's natural runners. When we started I could barely complete the first 30 seconds of the run/walk intervals, but the support you got from Adie, Jimmy and Sally helped so much. We also received additional sup

Thanks to Colin for this report on the SBH Camping Weekend to Buxton! Following on from the success of the camping trip to Snowdon and hosteling in Kettlewell the previous year, the first foray of 2026 would be to the Peak District town of Buxton, as advertised in this fabulous flyer: Following a bank holiday week and accompanied by an unusual appearance on the part of the Sun, traffic on the Friday afternoon could be described as variable: Although there’d be breaks enroute

Back by popular demand, the SBH Couch to 5k is making a return on the week commencing 29th June. If you're thinking about beginning your running journey then look no further! Adie, James and Sally will accompany on your journey over an 11 week programme. Many of our previous runners have gone on to even bigger things like 10k, half-marathons and even Ultra marathons. If you just want a health kick, return to running or fancy a new challenge, just click on the link and sign up

We were lucky enough to be given 2 entries for teams in the inaugural Beautifully Brutal Coast to Coast Winter Ultra at the weekend by Huw Williams. 8 intrepid runners headed to the beautiful Llyn Peninsula, ready to take on nearly 40 miles of coastal running. The Skelmersdale Boundary Harrys and Harriets were primed and ready for action 💛🖤 As the rain bucketed down, Jane and Mike took shelter in the Tafarn y fic in Llithfaen, setting off at 6am up Yr Eifl and towards the i

Last year, Clarke Gardens was an unusually tidy affair — more “afternoon jog in a park” than “epic struggle against the elements.” There was so little mud you could almost see your reflection in the grass, which, frankly, isn’t the kind of thing a proper cross country runner wants to see. This year, however, the mud made a tentative return. Not epic levels but enough to make it interesting. Our squad of 22 brave souls assembled, an excellent blend of wise old campaigners (who
