Everyone can run and the hardest part is just making that initial effort. So whether you are already a runner looking to improve or somebody who is completely new to running and just wants to give it a try, you can be sure you’ll find a warm welcome with the Striders. In order that we can achieve the best running experience for everyone we have identified the following three levels that we use for grouping runners at some sessions:

Tuesday and Thursday (7:00pm)
Runners form three separate groups, beginner, intermediate and advanced. Runs last from 45 minutes to 1hr 15 minutes.
Wednesday (7:00pm)
Led by Andy Pead, one of our elite runners, this is a speed and hill session. Not for the faint hearted, it lasts about 1 hour and is a real lung buster. You’ll know you’ve done it!
Saturday (8:00am)
This is a session for our beginners and intermediates. Runs can last from 40 minutes to about an hour. It’s a great session for those wanting their first introduction to running.
Sunday (9:00am or 9:30am)
There is long Sunday morning run lasting anything from 1½hrs to 3hrs. Run at a slow pace, it’s a great way of building your stamina. There is a beginner group that meet at 9:30am for a shorter and slower paced run.
