Gerard McCabe
President
One of the founders of the club in the early 1980s and the man responsible for establishing the Hendon Brook Half Marathon and our club colours (would you be surprised to learn he hails from the North East?). Gerry is a real character and the driving force behind much of Trawden AC's history as well as racing and running in the Pendle area. |

Dave Croll
Chairman
A long-standing member of Trawden AC with a flair for organisation and planning, essential qualities that have enabled him to set up and maintain our club races and forge closer links with neighbouring clubs and sponsors. Though prone to the occasional injury, Dave always helps out during club training sessions, marshalling the group on his bike or putting everyone through their paces in speed sessions. |

Chris Campbell
Vice Chairman
Despite being the club comedian, Chris is also very level-headed when it comes to organising and suggesting improvements to training - an unusual and winning combination! Always happy to answer questions and support members of all abilities, he is a more than capable deputy in training sessions of all kinds. Chris is an experienced road and fell runner with plenty of races of all kinds under his belt, including several marathons. |

Fionnuala Swann

Another established club runner with an interest in road and fell-racing and recent speed demon. Fionnuala is also a superb supporter when not involved in racing and makes some excellent post-race food! |

Dean Ralphson
Membership & Treasurer
A very friendly and approachable chap fittingly in charge of club membership. Dean makes a point of having a chat with all new members during their early training sessions and his enthusiastic attitude to running is contagious. He is a very experienced runner having taken part in numerous races including the Pendle & Burnley GP series and Three Peaks, and has a reputation for being very fast out of the blocks! |

Molly Ralphson
Social Secretary
Ever-present at club gatherings, post-race celebrations and other social occasions, Molly has a real flair for getting to know people and organising get-togethers. She is also something of a talismanic figure at the club having won the overall Pendle & Burnley GP series in 2010, and she has scooped many first place prizes in all kinds of running events, adventure racing and triathlons. She's also famous for her tough attitude when in charge of training sessions - listen out for the whistle! |

Paul Brown
Club Captain & Webmaster
Responsible for choosing men's and mixed teams for club relay events and also the man behind the scenes of the Trawden AC website. Paul has several year's running experience having completed around 15 marathons, over thirty 10Ks and many fell races. He has a reputation for leaving it rather late when registering for races on the day, but despite his tardy starts he usually does okay in the end! |

Steven Gregory
Vice Captain
Iron Man extrordinaire and general all-round tough guy, Steve is a top runner both on and off road. His past challenges include many triathlons, marathons and even crazy rides from Land's End to John o' Groats! Needless to say Steve is one of the most experienced athletes in the club. |

Sandra Campbell
Women's Captain
Always approachable and a first class organiser, Sandra is responsible for choosing ladies teams in relay events such as the Pennine Bridleway Relay. She is another experienced runner who completed the London Marathon this year and has now been bitten by the long-distance bug! |
