From Sam J Sunday Socials For anyone interested this Sunday I’ll be doing a 9 mile run from the club starting at 9am. Usual pace, 8.50-9 min miles. Brew in the club house after! Please comment if you’re planning on coming along so we don’t leave without you 😊

Further to Jennie Johnston’s award for member of the year 2020/21 as voted by the committee Jennie has split the £100 charity donation which goes to the award winner between Parkinsons UK (a charity close to the Johnston’s hearts) and The Trinity Holistic Centre at James Cook Hospital - where our lovely Debbie Edwards has been attending during her cancer treatment. Last Thursday 25 people took part in the Comic Relief run so the £25 subs have been matched by the club making a £50 donation to Comic Relief 😊

Hi all. Re the NYSD Cross Country road relays. For Stockton Striders to take part we need at least one more female Emily & Faye will be your team mates. We also need three men to run with Michael. You must be affiliated but is doesn’t matter if you didn’t participate in the cross country itself and you must wear a club vest (see details below). We do appreciate it is Mothering Sunday and the races take place over lunchtime so could be difficult for you to attend. However, if you are free and do fancy running two laps of South Park in Darlington please comment below. Thank you.

Thanks to Liz Simpson for all her hard work organising tonight’s Comic Relief event at the club. 25 people split into 4 teams completed the 4 mile run with challenges set along the way before ending with a quiz back at the club. In the finish not much separated the teams but congratulations to The Odd Man Out team (needless to say it was Ben Robinson who was the odd man out wearing his striders top instead of a red T-shirt) captained by Andy J who were victorious in the end ! Thanks also to all the volunteers, team captains and everyone who took part. All subs from tonight (£25) along with a club donation (also £25) will go directly to Comic Relief

Thirsk 10 mile league results: Hi all please see below the scores on the doors for our 2nd league race . It’s a big well done to John Archer for scooping the top prize in the mens race with Ben closely following in 2nd. Shout out to Tom Murphy who produced an excellent performance to finish 3rd despite having a tough age grading! On the womens side, Abby stays perfect with another 50 points but she’s joined on the podium by 2 first timers. Big well done to Michelle Ince (2nd) and Emma Matthews (3rd) on their respective performances. Michelle just missed out on regional age grading by 0.04%! I will post an ‘overall’ league standings table after our next event but I can tell you our current league leaders…
