For those not on FB Hi all Extra long post alert - sorry As we approach the next Covid roadmap milestone date (17th May) this is a good time to provide club updates. Current membership renewals will continue to remain on hold until 30.6.21. This three month membership extension from 1.4.21 is in recognition of the current restricted service provided at present. Putting members safety first whilst also adhering to both government and England Athletics covid guidance during the last 14 months has been our priority. However as restrictions hopefully ease through May/June the primary aim is to get club sessions back to some sense of normality as soon as we can. F2F formal club sessions. With effect from Tuesday 18th May group numbers for F2F sessions will increase from…

Cleveland Way Relay 2021 update Whilst we understand there are tentative plans by race organisers to still host the event in June this year subject to covid roadmap permissions, as a committee we have made the difficult decision not to enter a Striders team this year. We hope you appreciate this was made only after considering the implications of organising recces, not being able to car share without those in social bubbles and how it would actually work on race day without support crews etc. Fingers crossed we"ll be back in 2022!
