Stockton Striders Naked Run - Afternoon! Due to its popularity last year, we are planning on another Halloween Barrage run which will be a naked run. This does not mean stripping off.. it means running without a watch! (Phew!) This will be taking place on Tuesday 1st November at 6.30pm instead of official club sessions. Whilst the distance will not be revealed yet, it will be between 3-4 miles. We will share more details about the route closer to the time. For those not familiar with a naked run, how it works is you submit your predicted finishing time and whoever is closest to their finishing time wins. Therefore, anyone can win! We will have prizes for the closest male and female as well as wooden spoons for those furthest…

Joint 3rd and crossing the line together was Alan with Suzanne & Flo with myself who opted for a bit of a team camaraderie kinda run only interrupted by the odd squirrel watch 🐿 ! Well done to all our four legged…
