Evening, Myself and the rest of the committee would just like to pass on our congratulations to all our members today who have took part and ran in the London and Manchester marathons representing the club 💙💚. As always, some absolutely fantastic performances despite some very challenging conditions in both cities! ☀️🥵 Not just fantastic performances, but huge amounts raised for some very important charities, and true Striders spirit shown by members helping each other keep putting one foot in front of the other and getting to that finish line. Whether it was your debut marathon, or you are a seasoned pro going back for more pain… Enjoy your post run celebrations. You have all earned it!

Afternoon, We often get a lot of members talking about what fuel to take on long runs, and what the best/most suitable product is. One product mentioned, is Voom nutrition. Voom nutrition have reached out to us as a running club and offered our members an exclusive discount on all their products. You can also claim a free taster pack if you want to give Voom a try before buying properly! If you are already a user of Voom nutrition, you can type: STOCKTONSTRIDERS12 in, for a discount on all products sold on there. Please do not share the above with ‘non’ striders members. The discount is exclusive to Stockton Striders, and the company can check who is applying the code, and cross reference it with us to ensure it…

Morning, Now that the dust has settled on membership renewals, it feels a good time to just issue a few general reminders to members for the upcoming year. Firstly, we have had 169 members renew their membership with Stockton Striders. This is a fantastic number, and our highest number of renewals at this stage of the year which is brilliant. I would also personally like to thank our membership secretary Sue King who has worked tirelessly behind the scenes for the last 6-8 weeks ensuring everything is up to date. In terms of reminders, please remember that when booking on a session this has to be done by 5.30pm on the Tuesday or Thursday. Booking does close after this time. In addition to this, if you can no longer make…

Afternoon, We have received confirmation that the NYMAC relays will be taking place on Thursday 29th May. Entry for teams has to be done on Saturday 10th May, therefore - we need teams sorted and finalising for this date. For those not familiar with the relays, it’s four runners per team, and it’s 1 mile around Stewart’s Park, Middlesbrough. They start at 7pm, but members are asked to get to the park no later than 6.45pm to allow time to get your number, and be informed who your team is. It is completely free to take part - but club colours must be worn. We can run with all men / all women and mixed teams too and it is open to all abilities so I would encourage you to…

Saturday social parkrun This coming Saturday, 19th April is the next of our social Saturdays this time at Hamsterley Forest parkrun. 🌲 ⛰️ Usual info… Run/walk the course as you wish; the main point is to hang around afterward for a drink, cake or breakfast & have a natter. We will use the Hamsterley Forest cafe. If you need to be away straight from the parkrun, that’s okay.. just enjoy the parkrun 😃 We do have our spot prizes to give away too 😃 We encourage you to wear Striders colours but this isn’t a requirement to join in. If you fancy a walk you’ll find me volunteering as a tail walker so feel free to chat alongside if the thought of running Hamsterley isn’t your thing. TRAIL SHOES to…
