The Club caters for athletes of all ages and abilities, but prides itself in particular on the support it gives to younger athletes (see our section on Juniors).

Prospective members can join in the training for a few sessions to see how they like it without any obligation to join.

It is affiliated to UK Athletics through the North of England Athletics Association (NoEAA), and is an active member of the Mid Lancashire Track and Field Leagues, and the Northern Track & Field League.
