5k to 10k Groups

Steel City Striders are committed to helping new and improving runners. With this in mind, we regularly schedule 5k to 10k groups, with the aim of getting runners to a level where they can join our main training nights as detailed below.

For our main training nights, we suggest that you should be able to run for an hour and be able to run 5 miles in around 75 minutes. The 5k to 10k groups provide an ideal opportunity to improve your running from the level where you can run 5k or for around 30 to 40 minutes and increase that up an hour and beyond in a friendly and supportive group.

At the end of the 8 week course, we will support you in giving one of our main training nights a try.

There will be no cost to participate and no obligation to enter races or join the club, but a commitment to the whole 8 week programme would be appreciated.

The sessions will be run by experienced Striders who have qualified as Coaches and Run Leaders with England Athletics (EA).

Details of the next course will be shared here and on our Facebook page when they are confirmed.
