Testimonials
Check out the testimonials from some of our members below:
Steve Robinson
Member for 10 years
“Having ran on my own, on and off, for a few years I was looking for some extra motivation and to improve my race times. I was reluctant to join a running club at first because I thought that everyone would be faster than me.
Having emailed Striders and received a really friendly response I thought I would give them a try. Within a few weeks I knew that it was the club for me. Everyone is really friendly and welcoming. The best part is on race days having the support of a team who celebrate everyone’s achievements whether they win, beat a PB or just finish. I would recommend the club to anyone.”

“Striders is more than a running club, it has become my extended family. I am not a fast runner but the encouragement and support I have received has taken me on a journey from my first 10k race to running 2 marathons.”
