For those not on FB Hi all Following on from previous related posts. Please keep those initial 5k mini league handicap times coming. Deadline is 8pm Thursday. Round 1 starts Saturday 6th. Thanks Andy J

For those not on FB Hi all Judging by the level of interest it’s a resounding yes to a 5k pre Christmas Striders handicap league. Given the numbers involved (approx 60 members) we will have a male and female league. Whilst the deadline to confirm participation isn’t until tomorrow (Monday 1st) people taking part should start thinking about their initial handicap time. A few people have queried calculating their initial handicap time with me. If it helps this is how I intend to calculate mine. My best 5k time for the last 2 months is 23.01. At the moment I’m not at that pace so my initial handicap will be 23.50 to reflect what I think is my current 5k time. Whilst initial handicap times need to be credible please…

I I I know Paul J’s parkrun report will follow but today marked a 1st for Stockton Striders AC - we now have a parkrun 500 club member amongst our ranks. This person did not want a fuss and wanted things low key but with his permission we want to say a massive well done & congratulations to Tony Galilee … not only has he joined the 500 club but has volunteered over 90 times - simply phenomenal. We felt we couldn’t not mark the occassion so presented Tony with a couple of gifts and he definitely deserves not 1 but 2 striders pens don’t you agree 😊😊😊    

For those not on FB From Sam Johnston Morning all, For those interested there will be a social run from the club tomorrow at 9am. Distance will be 10 miles and the pace will be 9.00 minute miles.

For those not on FB Striders Pre-Christmas Handicap 5k Mini League Hi all Following the success of the club spring 5k mini league the committee are canvassing the interest of creating another club 5k mini league during November and December. To re-cap. Rules Members submit a current 5k realistic time before the league starts. This will be your initial handicap time and must be credible for the mini league format to work properly. No ‘bandits’ please! The mini league will run over seven consecutive weekly rounds and will finish just before Christmas. The 5k completion timeframe for each round is a Saturday through to Thursday evening. The mini league will commence on Saturday 6th November meaning round 1 will close on Thursday 11th November. Round 2 will then start on…

NAKED RUN RESULTS Hi All, What a brilliant turnout for our naked run at the tees barrage this evening. Firstly I would like to thank all the volunteers. Without them we would not have been able to host this event so I am sure you will appreciate them giving their time up tonight to help out. Before posting the results of tonight’s run I want to say a massive well done to everyone who took part. There are so many people who have ran faster than what they predicted. This goes to show that sometimes running without a watch can be a good thing and make you realise that you can run much faster than what you think. With that being said, tonight was all about being as close as…

Sundays cross country results are in. Well done everyone who ran. 2021-22 NYSD Foxrush Results

For those not on FB - post from Sam Johnston Morning Everyone, As you know tomorrow (26th) there are no official club sessions as it’s our naked run event at the tees barrage. Booking for this event will be on magnapass as usual, and the link will be available later on today. We will make sure there are enough booking slots available so everyone can book on that wants to. As explained previously, a naked run is where you run without sight of a watch and you try run as close to your predicted time as possible. The route that you will be running is 3.06 miles/4.92 kilometres. The route will be explained to you just before you set off - however it will be marshalled so you won’t go…
