JUNIOR RACE SERIES:
Following lockdown we hope to bring back the Junior Race Series. Prizes for first 3 boys and first 3 girls will be handed out at the annual prize giving evening in December. The series will consist of a number of local races and Junior Parkruns. Since everyone will not be able to make all events we will only include your best runs (normally around 8 out of 10 count). Full information will be posted prior to a new series starting. 

JUNIOR HANDICAPS:
Junior Handicaps are short runs which take place on periodically during training. You can find more information relating to the Junior Handicap events by clicking here.

OFFICIAL RACES:
Junior Striders are able to take place in a number of official races throughout the year from Cross Country to the Lincolnshire Country Championships. We also take part in the Tommy Clay Development League which is a great way to experience and practice your skills in an official Track and Field stadium. More information can be found by clicking here.   

Please note that age limits may apply to different events. 

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT:
There is also a chance for our younger athletes to take part in a Youth Development Team, along with 3 other local clubs. For more information, please click here. 

OTHER RACES:
There are always a number of events throughout the year which are available for junior runners. Sleaford Striders host a number of Fun Runs and you can often find Striders at one of the many weekly Parkruns (or Junior Parkruns).
