Is Striders for me ?
If you already run, come along and run as a guest for a couple of weeks.
To enjoy a Tuesday session, you should be able to run 4 miles in under 50 minutes (groups range from 11:30-minute mile pace to 7-minute miles).
To join a Wednesday session you should be able to run consistently for 30 minutes. Paces faster than approximately 14 minute miles (so faster than average walking pace) can be accommodated.
The sessions are described more fully on our Club Sessions page.
We offer a 10-week Beginners’ Course each May. This takes you up to 30 minutes of running. If you want to make a start on your own, we recommend the NHS Couch to 5k app. This can be combined with Parkrun. Many Stamford Striders take part in Rutland Water Park Run at Normanton, Saturdays at 9am.
Under 18s can join Junior Striders.
How do I apply to join Striders?
Complete an Application Form and email me a photo of it. Pay subs into the club bank account (details on the form).
How much does it cost ?
£20 a year. If you choose to also register with England Athletics through us, there is an additional £23 cost which we will pass on to them.
What happens next
Your account on this website will be set up and you will receive a membership confirmation email. In the meantime, keep running with us.
If you have any questions, send me an email.
