Ian Mackie One of my first road running events was organised by ELR in the 1980s, but regrettably I didn't get around to joining the club until July 2021. I started running regularly again in 2019 after a gap of about 20 years. This friendly club, where all ages and abilities can mix, has been so welcoming and has encouraged me to train and take part in a variety of road and cross country races. I joined the committee in 2023 to try and give something back and help others.
