A fantastic morning with Striders supporting our local community pantry’s … big thank you for all the donations and good to see 20+ Striders join in this mornings run. The Community Pantry’s were so very grateful for all the donations and said what a difference it will make to peoples lives. It’s nice to be appreciated & give something back to our local community, whilst combining it with our love for running 💚💙 🏃‍♀️🏃🏻😊👍🏻        

A quick reminder about this Sunday’s Food Bank run… 🏃🏻‍♂️We’ll be meeting at the club at 9:45 for a 10am start. (Please see Helen’s earlier post for additional details). 🏃🏻‍♀️Helen & Gail will both be at the Barrage session tomorrow night if you’d like to bring any donations along. - And a huge thanks to all the donations made so far. 🏃🏻 The pace(s) will be suitable for all. We’d love to see as many Striders there as possible. So please don’t worry about the pace! Finally, If you are planning on coming along, please could you let us know below.

Stockton Striders Foodbank Run next Sunday - 19/02/23 Next Sunday is our food bank run … plan is to meet at club at 9:45am and run to St Chad’s community pantry in Roseworth (approx 1.5 miles from club). The pantry organisers are looking forward to seeing us all and have arranged tea, coffee & biscuits for us 😊. The plan is then leave there and to run to Norton Methodist Church on Norton Road before returning to the Stockton Town club house for a cuppa & chat 😊😊 max miles will be about a 11K with opportunities to do less ! We appreciate that it’s a very busy time what with marathon training etc but we would love as many people as possible to join in the run and showcase…

Don’t forget…..as posted previously. For those interested tomorrow is Striders annual Tees Barrage Parkrun. No bar codes, no official times, just a trip down memory lane for old times sake. The plan is to meet at 0855 near what was the start line. Afterwards in The Talpore for a brew if you have the time. Club colours encouraged if you have them. Thanks Andy J

Don’t forget they’ll be a box at club tonight for anyone wanting to make any donations to our food bank run ….
