Club News
https://www.parkrun.org.uk/gateshead/course/ This coming Saturday, 25th January sees the start of our monthly social Saturdays at Parkrun. The first parkrun takes place at Gateshead. Run the course as you wish; the main point is to hang around afterward for a drink, cake or breakfast & have a natter. There’s a cafe in the park called Saltwell Towers cafe which we aim to use. We have spot prizes too! We encourage you to wear Striders colours but this isn’t a requirement to join in. Have a think about car sharing; comment below if you are happy to drive or if you want to go but a lift will be needed. This will be your responsibility to arrange.

Brass Monkey 2025 race report

Run reports
A typical cold January morning saw a merry band of Striders travel down to the Knavesmire for 2025 edition of the Brass Monkey. The weather was absolutely perfect for racing with no rain or wind, and with it being barely above freezing there was no chance of overheating. There’s some been absolutely amazing times posted today. Tom Murphy, fresh off the back of signing a new deal with ASICS for his new supershoes, went round in an amazing time of 1:16:28, a new club record. Tom is testament to what hard work and dedication can achieve. Very well done Tom, that time is very much deserved. Jon Archer posted a new PB of 1:25:41 and looked very strong, and ever youthful, at the finish. Well done Jon. Abby Barker and…

SSAC Saturday social parkruns 2025

Club News
The SSAC Saturday parkrun socials are here.. thank you to the members who came forward with ideas of which parkruns and cafes to use. As unanimously agreed to at the AGM we now have a social Saturday Parkrun calender for you to use as an invite to join other Striders at parkrun; stop afterward for food or just a drink, meet fellow Striders you don’t yet know. No league, no points. Just turn up, run then treat yourself to food, drink and good company. You can run the parkrun at your own pace or run slower for a chat, if you need to head off afterward that’s okay. I have tried to accommodate our dogs; the gaps mean I don’t know if they are allowed or not. December is missing…

Social Saturday Parkrun

Club News
‼️ LONG POST ‼️ At our recent AGM the league was discussed and due to the club having many new members and 2025 being Stockton Striders 10th year we opened it up to the members present to either do the league or instead to have Social Saturday parkruns. The social parkrun idea won by a unanimous decision. There’ll be no points involved, it’s an opportunity to get to know other striders, there’s no need to wear Striders colours though this is still encouraged and no required number of events to attend. It’s all about being social; run or volunteer then join the after party for a post run drink, cake or breakfast. Below is a list of a few of the chosen parkruns. What we need now are ideas from…
