Sleaford Striders is the athletics club which gives running opportunities and guidance for runners at every stage of the hobby. From those just taking up the sport to experienced runners, we offer something for everyone.

Sleaford Striders are Clubmark  acredited. The Clubmark is the only national cross sports quality accreditation scheme for clubs with junior sections. It is built around a set of core criteria which ensure that accredited clubs operate to a set of consistent, accepted and adopted minimum operating standards. Click here to see Our Certificate.

The club has a long history within the town and has just celebrated its 25th Anniversary. 

Our focus is on enjoying what we do! Ask any Strider why they joined and they will offer you a mixture of reasons from looking for new friends to gaining training partners and tips!

As a club, we regularly travel to races in groups, so lifts can be shared. See the Fixtures page for details of forthcoming races.

We welcome new members throughout the year. We train in groups to suit all abilities and no one gets left behind or has to run on their own. The club has a team of qualified coaches who are happy to advise any member who expresses an interest in progressing. So whether you've been inspired by the Cancer Research for Life, Sport Relief, Lincoln 10K or the London Marathon, why not give us a try? Take a look at the Training Sessions page and join us or if you’d prefer to arrange to meet someone in advance, please contact Clive Holden on 01529 307735 and he’ll be happy to tell you more about the Striders.
