Run club in Croydon
Striders of Croydon is a running club based at the Sandilands clubhouse in Addiscombe, next to Lloyd Park, catering for runners of all abilities. Sessions run most days of the week and include club runs, speed and track sessions, longer Sunday runs and a Friday social run. The club also competes in cross country and road leagues.
Wednesday evening is the main club run, a 60 minute run with all standards catered for; the club has a long-standing policy of turning back to pick up runners at the back so nobody is left behind. Sunday mornings offer a 60 or 90 minute run with usually two pace groups, sometimes a third when run leaders are available. Tuesday has road speed sessions at 18:30 and 19:30 (details in the weekly newsletter) plus track at Croydon Arena at 19:30, and Thursday has track sessions at Croydon Arena. Friday is a 60 minute social run from the clubhouse. On Saturdays members take part in cross country league events in season or local parkruns. From November to the end of March there are extended Sunday marathon training runs of about 10 to 20 miles for London, Brighton and Paris. Prospective members can email stridersofcroydon@gmail.com to book a trial run in advance so they can be placed in an appropriately paced group; membership form, subs and renewal details are under the Join Us section. England Athletics affiliated club.
