This takes place on Sunday 24th October at Fox Rush Community Woodland, Redcar. Post code for sat navs is TS10 5PZ. See maps below for parking, race times and the XC running routes. Spikes or trail shoes recommended. Stockton Striders colours must be worn to take part. Our tent will be there along with our flag flying high; we are hoping for a good Striders turn out given the marathon events will be over with and we’ve heard this is a flat route 👍. To tempt you further, refreshments will be available post run. If you haven’t registered to take part, but after seeing the post and photos from what was a very successful and enjoyable first cross country, you’re now thinking I want to do this, please comment below.…

For those not on FB. Stockton Striders Naked Run - Good Evening Everyone, As you will know from previous posts - we are planning on a Halloween Barrage run which will be a naked run. As explained previously, this does not mean stripping off.. it means running without a watch! (Phew!) This will be taking place on Tuesday 26th October at 6.30pm instead of official club sessions. Whilst the distance will not be revealed yet, it will be between 2.5 - 3.5 miles. We will share more details about the route and start times etc, closer to the time. For those not familiar with a naked run, how it works is you submit your predicted finishing time and whoever is closest to their finishing time wins. Therefore, anyone can win!…

For those not on FB. Still availability across all groups for tonight’s sessions. On the plus side…the weather looks like it will be better than it was for Tuesdays sessions too. Bookings as usual via MagnaPass please. Thanks Andy J

Message from Kris Allen for those not on FB Sundays Socials - 10th October Hi all, Lots of different races taking place over the weekend and I understand that many are also preparing for events over the next couple of weeks. For those taking part in races this weekend, good luck and run well 🏃🏻 So, with this in mind, I am going to plan a 10k for this Sunday from the club. Slightly shorter than normal but we can easily add a couple of miles if required. Usual 9 am start and pace between 9 and 9 and a half minute miles. All are welcome with no formal invite needed, but if you are planning to come down, please comment below so we don’t wonder off without anyone!

For those not on FB Hi all Annually we remind members of the Club Code of Conduct. For obvious reasons this last 18 months this has somewhat slipped through the net. However with the club now functioning at something like normality and the XC season upon us now seems like a good time to promote this very important matter. Please take the time to read and digest the document. Thanks Andy J Code of Conduct Stockton Striders AC aim to encourage participation, enjoyment and improvement in running for members of all abilities in a friendly and supportive environment. Achieving this relies on all members contributing to the atmosphere and smooth running of the club by observing the following guidelines. * Respect the rights, dignity and worth of everybody you encounter.…
