We have spot prizes too! We encourage you to wear Striders colours but this isnโ€™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.

09/01/25 CLUB SESSIONS CANCELLED

Club News, Training
โ—๏ธ09/01/25 CLUB SESSIONS CANCELLEDโ—๏ธ Hi everyone, following a discussion with the committee we have made the difficult decision to cancel tonightโ€™s official club sessions. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ There are still patches of ice on the footpaths around the club and we believe itโ€™ll be unsafe to run in large groups when itโ€™s dark and icy. It is also unfair to ask our coaches to lead sessions in coniditions which may not be safe. Members and coaches safety is as always our priority so I hope you can all understand the reasoning behind the decision. Tuesday next week is a tropical 10ยฐC so we will see you all then!! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž
