Welcome to the Striders of Croydon home page.
The Striders are an athletics club based in Croydon in Surrey. These pages are intended to give an insight into the activities and history of the club.
The Striders train twice weekly from their clubhouse inSandilands, Addiscombe, Croydon on Sundays at 8.30am and Wednesdays at 7.30pm. 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’ on our Wednesday and Sunday training runs 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!!
Striders now have a Friday night Social Run, which starts at 7.30pm and lasts for approx. 40 minutes at a leisurely 9 – 10 minute miling pace. These runs begin from the clubhouse and are led by Kevin Bannister. They are ideal for prospective new members of the club who would find 40 mins. an easier option than the 1 hour on the Wednesday and Sunday runs, and also for those current members wanting a leisurely run for 40 mins. on a Friday evening.
Please visit us regularly to find out what’s happening on the Croydon running scene.
