Track Coordinator Janet Bywater I joined ELR in 2016 to benefit from training in a group and because my partner said it was the friendliest club around. Over the years I've loved pulling on the red vest and have now joined the committee to be able to give something back to the club.

Morag Campbell I've been a member of the club since 2014 and really got into my running in 2021, but was out injured for most of 2022 and missed the club. As I'm slowly coming back to running I wanted to give back to the club that has given me so much, so I joined the committee in 2023.

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.
