Sunday seems the most popular for those that replied so we’ll go for 9am on Sunday from Preston Park main carpark. We’ll do a loop of the park, run down Yarm Road to Yarm, along the Teesdale Way to Eaglescliffe and back to the park. It’s approx 6 miles. Remember your trail shoes it’s really muddy! That gives everyone time to rest the legs before the first league race of next year on NYD at the double Albert and Stewart parkrun. ??‍♀️?‍♂️

There’ll be a couple of unofficial all-inclusive sessions over the Christmas holidays. Thursday 27th - Intervals in Ropner Park. Meet 9am at the bandstand. New Years Eve (can move to Sunday if that’s better for the majority of people) - Social run along the Teesdale way. Approx 7 miles. It’s really muddy and slippery so you’ll need trail shoes! Meeting time and location to follow. Will most likely be doing my own run on Wednesday too if anyone wants another social run.

Morning Striders, Feeling festive yet? ???? Tonight’s our Christmas cracker relays, an all-inclusive speed session that’s lots of fun! There’s prizes up for grabs!  Don’t forget your Christmas fancy dress! It’s also tea and coffee night. ? The Striders biscuit tins looking a little empty so any Christmas themed goodies would be much appreciated. ???? See you all later ??????
