Slaithwaite Striders Running Club

I started running with Couch to 5k in 2020, having hated running growing up. I completed the programme, settled into a routine of several runs a weeks, and quickly got stuck in a rut. In January 2022 I joined Striders after seeing people wearing the kit all over Slaithwaite. From my first group run (there are 3 free runs before you sign up), I knew this club was going to level up my running. In under a year I've run my first 10k race (and 2nd and 3rd), conquered my aversion to running up hill...

I started running in 2020 in the 1st lockdown. I joined Slaithwaite Striders to learn more routes around the colne valley. I thought I'd prefer road running but now I love trails too.

Whatever your needs regards your running, beginning, improving or just for the so...

Amazing club and community. Best decision I made since moving to the area was to join the club. Would recommend for anyone wanting to give running a go or for seasoned runners- suits absolutely everyone….and always great to get to know others around the area.

I joined the Striders last Summer & love it! 💚 Everyone is so welcoming, friendly & encouraging whatever your ability & will always be more than happy to offer advice & support. The runs are amazing in the lovely hills around Slaithwaite & beyond & there is a great community spirit too. Such a fabulous club…I am so pleased I joined after many years of running 💚

Best running club I’ve ever been part of! 💚 Super welcoming & supportive atmosphere. A run for every ability, from owning your first pair of running trainers to chasing down the PB of dreams. You will love it!
