Phew! It’s going be a warm one tonight for our club sessions - please make sure you bring water with you if coming along #hydration 💦💦💦

Parkrunathon 2023 Last years parkrunathon proved to be a very popular event and was such a testimony to just how our Striders family supports one another. We want to continue with that ethos and as a fitting tribute from Striders members to a much loved member we will be naming the this years event held on Saturday 15th July the ‘SSAC Celebrating Debbie Edwards parkrunathon’ Purposely we have refrained from calling it a memorial and instead a celebration as we know Debbie will be celebrating every step with us 💜💜💜💜💜 We’re starting off with the 'bit' this year so will do that at Sedgefield then the other 8 will be : 1. Sedgefield 2. Wynyard Walkway 3. Cosford Fields (that one's just for you Sam 🤣) 4. Hartlepool 5. Albert…

Just a reminder to hold the date - Saturday  15th July 2023 … for this years parkrunathon - more details to follow later this week 💚💙🏃‍♀️🏃🏻👍🏻😊

Just a heads up they’re gearing up for ITV film crews at the White Water rafting course at the barrage and near where the parkrun start was. Access is limited - today the path and hill near the talpore was open but not the lower part of the white water course paths near the wooden bridges. Next week more may be closed according to the security guy we were talking to! Closures in place until 12th June.

**UPDATE RE CLEVELAND WAY RELAYS**. For those of you who have been allocated a leg for this event, we need your running time so please arrange your reccie if not already done so. Also, the first leg Filey to Scarborough needs covering if anyone fancies a 5am start along the coast? Please comment below or message Michael or me. thanks.   Gail.

Northallerton 10k. Our sixth league event of the year with many members of our club turning up to take part. The sun shone early doors but became overcast & a bit chilly before the event got underway; perfect running conditions. It was a great atmosphere; the high street was buzzing; with runners and spectators alike waiting for the start. There we were waiting patiently, minding our own business, chatting to each other; taking our group photos when out of nowhere our PM Rishi Sunak decided to join in. He won’t take no for an answer, what were we meant to do? But let him in our photos 😂 😂 He loves Stockton apparently & the Anchors and ‘Bishy Lane’. 😂. Thankfully we shook him off and gathered at the start…

NYMAC Relays For those not at the club tonight just a final post with the details for the relays this Thursday. They start at 7pm (not 6.30pm!) ar Stewart’s Park, Middlesbrough. I’d strongly recommend you try car share with others if you can as parking is manic. I’ll be there nice and early to make sure I have everyone’s numbers, please can everyone try and be there for no later than 6.15 so I can give you your numbers and tick you off the list. Helen is bringing a big bag of safety pins for anyone needing them 👍. Please also remember club colours must be worn! So that’s our official vests or training tops, thanks. See you on Thursday 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ TEAMS: Tom Murphy, Grant McGrath, Dave Fender, Paul Johnson…
