We have created a Frequently Asked Questions page that may already provide answers to your queries. Please note: as the majority of our training runs are in the evening or after dark, for your own safety please wear high visibility clothing otherwise you won’t be able to run with us. This and other advice can be found on our Guidelines for Running Groups page.

This is a popular and well supported club training venue, particularly in the autumn and winter. In the spring/summer a lot of members will be out doing mid-week races on the roads and fells so numbers tend to be lower.

Please check the Striders Facebook group before attending or send an email with your enquiry.

There are usually two or three groups each week from this venue, ranging from 6-9 miles at a variety of paces to suit a range of abilities.

Pace and distances will always be dictated by the slowest member of each group on each night. As with all Striders training runs, no one is left behind and the faster ones in the group will always double back for the slower ones. So please don’t feel under pressure to run faster than you are capable. They are completely free and newcomers are more than welcome to attend to try us out under no obligation. Please, do come along and give us a try.
