          For those not on FB Hi all Pre-Covid we operated a door rota policy. It involved two individuals on club nights sitting in the clubhouse from 1825 - 1945 having the Striders mobile phone and responding to any calls made by coaches in the event of an incident/emergency. Thankfully these are very rare occurrences but we still need the system in place to satisfy both our risk assessment and health and safety obligations. The door rota is covered in pairs on a volunteer basis using the theory ‘many hands make light work’. Ideally both,  but as a minimum one of the two volunteers is required to travel to the club in their own vehicle should it need to be utilised. Given the increase in session…

Kirklevington Grange parkrun As some of you will know parkrun uk holds events at HMP venues around the country. The events aren’t open to the general public but …… Thanks to our contacts (Simon R 😊) 5 Striders have been invited along to Kirklevington Grange’s parkrun event this Saturday. The Northern Echo along with an Ambassador from Parkrun will also be there. We think the fairest way to select the five is to put names in the hat so if you would like to be in the draw please comment here by 9pm 2moro night (Wednesday 17th November) and we’ll do the draw at Thursdays AGM. If your name is drawn out the hat further instructions about the day will follow - please note you will need photo ID in…

Look out for our Strider flag and tent. If you want to watch & support our runners, please…

The Great Run Local (GRL) 5k Stockton run used to take place every Sunday morning in Ropner Park. Sadly post Covid the Great Run company made the decision not to re-start. Locally the Stockton Sunday Runners are trying to formally reinstate this 5k Sunday morning run. They now have affiliation with England Athletics, permission from Stockton Borough Council and from Friends of Ropner Park who are both eager to see this event restart. To help with start up costs they set up a go fund me page with £1000 target. As of yesterday the amount raised was £698, a shortfall of £302. As a local running club we fully support any initiative that brings the Stockton running community together particularly at a venue where we have close club ties and…
