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!

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.…
