For those who have expressed an interest in competing in the track and field season I have contacted league organisers (now we know how many people are interested in competing). We are unable to provide the number of volunteers to help out at the meetings (see previous related posts) and therefore it is up to the league to confirm if we can participate this season. I will post an update once we hear back from them. If we do get the go ahead each athlete will be responsible for registering themselves at the event (this must be done in advance and online only) and entry fees will be reimbursed by the club. Please only enter the events you intend to compete in. The link will be shared in the coming…

Confession time folks 🙄🙄 … I seem to have acquired a striders hoodie which is in a much better condition then mine! I can only asssume I’ve picked the wrong one up at club on Tuesday … so if you’ve now got one that has a hole next to the pocket (caused by overstuffing the pockets!) and a couple of spots of bleach on it then yes that’s sure to be mine (not sure of the size but it’s a ladies fit one) If you can let me know and then we can swap back - I’ll wash this one I have now and will be sure to return it as prestine as I found it 😊😊 Thanks Helen J

Don't forget its the next official run in our Striders canine mini parkrun league this Saturday at Hartlepool 😀 By the sounds of Paul's weekend parkrun report sounds like theres some serious training being undertaken ready for Saturday ... Will Flo hold off the challengers this time and take top spot again 😆, will Ivy still be on enforced rest and have to give this one a miss? And will Jet make it back from her holibobs in time!! Why not stay for an Easter cuppa and cake afterwards with your fellow Striders ☕️ 🧁🍩🍪 ... of course everyone is welcome with or without canine companions 🐾🐾🐾

The NYMAC Cleveland Way Relays are back 😁🙌. Sunday 12th June. Now that the cross country series has ended, Gail Robinson and Michael Burke are happy to organise this for our club members. It would be great to get our club back out there after a two year absence. There are 16 legs, starting from 5am. The details of the event can be read here. We would like at least two members or more per leg, (I know we do have a couple of members who are happy to run on their own) and you can also run more than one leg. A recce of the leg you will run MUST be done before the date of the event. The event is free, no affiliation required, so, If you are…

Hi all Just a heads up that March subs emails will be circulated over the weekend. In terms of scores on the doors during March we had a total of 458 attendees at the 10 available sessions. 👏👏 Plenty of annual membership renewals already submitted……keep them coming, please note the deadline for them is the end of April. Thanks Andy J

For those not on FB League Race Update: Morning All, Most members have noticed by now but the Everyone Active 10km in June which was one of our club league races has been cancelled and not rearranged for an alternative date. Therefore, we need a substitute race to push us back up to 18 for the year. So replacing the Everyone Active 10km will be the Pitstop 10km which has just been confirmed. This is a popular one with Striders and will take place on Wednesday 13th July. Entry has not yet opened. It’s a very flat and fast course ideal for a PB attempt, and if you’re lucky.. you might even get a Calippo off Phil Swash who’s been known to bring some excellent refreshments with him 🤣. Hopefully…
