Please follow our guidelines for running safely.
Striders are a
running club based in Croydon, Surrey. We run from our clubhouse
(see map) in Sandilands,
Addiscombe, Croydon on Sundays at 8.30 a.m., Wednesdays at 7.30
p.m.
and Fridays at 7.00 p.m.
All standards are catered for and everyone will be made most welcome.
In order to encourage runners of all abilities, the club has
had a long standing policy of frequently 'turning back' to pick up those
running at the back of the pack. If you have any doubts about whether you
can keep up with the pace, or of dropping off the back and getting lost,
fear not, we won't leave you behind!!
On Wednesdays there is the option of running for 40 minutes or an
hour in one of 4 groups ranging from fast (7 minute miles) to steady (about
11 minute miles).
On Sundays the choice is usually for 60 or 90 minutes as a single group
although we often split into two groups for the longer run.
Friday night is a run of about 40 minutes in one or two groups
depending on numbers and pace. We will always allow for very steady runners
(12 minute miles).
If you are new to running or returning after a break and can’t keep jogging
on the flat for 40 minutes at a modest pace there is also a separate
beginners group on Wednesday evenings called
Be Cool Running.
For more information on the activities of the club and how to join go to the
Club Information page.
