It may be a grey Friday, but Striders of Croydon are still heading out for our evening social run. Enjoy a relaxed, chatty pace and catch up with fellow runners. We finish with drinks at the Sandilands clubhouse, where Myndspirts also hosts fun events. Interested?

Striders of Croydon were out at the Beckenham Charity Trail 10k this morning—what a glorious day for it! After Beckenham RC supported our Switchback 5 in October, it only felt right for some of our runners to return the favour and support their event for two great causes.

Striders of Croydon took part in the London Cross Country Champs at Parliament Hill on Saturday. Great conditions and less mud made for some fast times. The 10k course is hilly but open to all abilities—cross country isn’t just for elites, anyone from any club can join.

Striders of Croydon held their 5K handicap trail race at Lloyd Park on Wednesday evening.

It was a fantastic turnout, and the conditions were ideal for racing.
