Change of date – league run no.2 Flatts Lane.

Club News
Hi all. Two things. Firstly, Pier to Pier entries open tomorrow 15th January. One of our league runs & a very popular event. So sign up quick if you want to give this a go. Secondly, We did plan our second league run for the 10th February, however we did overlook what has become an annual tribute to the Tees Barrage parkrun which has been taking place on the 2nd Saturday of February, (this year the 10th). The barrage parkrun was our club’s home parkrun, you could rock up last minute and be guaranteed to see plenty of Striders either running, volunteering or both! Given the Tees Barrage parkrun was so important to many Strider members we will continue with what has become an annual event, therefore the Flatts Lane…

Club League 2024 – race 1 – Albert parkrun

Club News
Club League 2024 - race 1 - Albert parkrun -a volunteers account. Blimey what a brilliant turn out for our first run of this years Striders League! As most of you will know I’ve not been able to run for several months now & due to a bit of a setback it will still be a good few months again before I can dip a tentative toe back in this running malarkey. I’ll be honest and say I’ve been feeling as sick as a chip these last few days about it all but determined to be more positive I signed up to volunteer at Albert parkrun (official volunteer credit no 89 😊& not many to go to my 100 volunteer tshirt) so that I could cheer you all on. First…
