For those not on FB - post from Sam Johnston Morning Everyone, As you know tomorrow (26th) there are no official club sessions as it’s our naked run event at the tees barrage. Booking for this event will be on magnapass as usual, and the link will be available later on today. We will make sure there are enough booking slots available so everyone can book on that wants to. As explained previously, a naked run is where you run without sight of a watch and you try run as close to your predicted time as possible. The route that you will be running is 3.06 miles/4.92 kilometres. The route will be explained to you just before you set off - however it will be marshalled so you won’t go…

For those not on FB Hi all 46 attendees at tonight’s run and talk sessions. The committee have agreed that the club will match the subs total meaning £92 was the total collected. Topped up by a further £8 means the club will be donating £100 to a local mental health charity. A great effort. Thanks to everyone that was able to attend the session and those who stayed back for the tea and coffee. With a great selection of cakes and biscuits tea and coffee nights are now very much back on the agenda. Andy J

For those not on FB Run & Talk - Thursday Following on from Liz’s post earlier this week. Whilst enjoying the free tea, coffee, biscuits and a good old natter in the clubhouse on Thursday the plan is to put the club merchandise on show.

In addition to the traditional training vests, t-shirts, hoodies and sundry items we will also be taking orders for training tops with reflective club logo and lettering. Ideal for the dark club Tuesday and Thursday night sessions. The reflective tops will be available in vests (worn over a skin), short sleeved and long sleeved options. No cash needed on Thursday. All purchases will be via BACS and payment is on…

For those not on FB Hi all It now understandably is too dark to meet on the grassed area in front of the college on official club session nights. With immediate effect unless advised otherwise official club session meeting points will now be in the clubhouse. Conscious of current government Covid advice on meeting indoors members are encouraged to arrive in the clubhouse no earlier than 1825 hours on club session nights. Sessions will start 1830 prompt. Members happy to meet in the clubhouse from 1825 hours will be directed to their session meeting point. The aim being to minimise members congregating en masse in one area of the clubhouse Those who wish to attend sessions but currently prefer not to meet indoors in a group environment are asked to…

For those not on FB All safely back from York. Another great day out, great times by everyone in both the 10 miler and marathon. The support, camaraderie and club banter was as always a pleasure to be part of. If Carlsberg did running clubs 💙💚 Until the next time…. Andy J (more…)

FB post from Lee Buckle Sunday Social this week will be 9/10 miles from the club at 8.30 ish. Pace will be between 11/12 min miles, nice easy pace. All welcome 👍

For those doing Sunday socials to/from the club this weekend. The clubhouse kitchen will be closed due to a private function so no breakfast butties I’m afraid. Andy J

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
