Members also regularly organise runs between themselves on different days of the week., keep an eye on the club facebook page and the website for further details.
What Training Do We Do?
The club aims to cater for a wide range of abilities. Runs incorporate tempo, hill and speed sessions, depending upon the time of year and upcoming races. Training in the winter evenings tends to be on roads and in the summer months the Striders tend to go off-road (unless there is an up-coming road race which requires some road training).
Club Races
The Striders regularly organise their own races & have organised over a hundred events in their thirty plus year history, the main races being:
Club Championship
