Welcome to Desford Striders Running Club
Desford Striders has a long and proud history of supporting runners of all ages, sizes and abilities, having been founded in 1991.
In the very first club newsletter, the stated aim was “to bring together runners of differing age and experience to form a club that will appeal to marathon runners and complete beginners alike.” More than 30 years later, nothing has changed! Our objective remains the same and we now have over 200 members of all ages and abilities.
We are an England Athletics affiliated running club offering friendly and supportive running.
Join Desford Striders!
If you've ever thought about running and ruled out joining a club because you're not just good or fast enough, Desford Striders is the place for you!
We cater for runners of all abilities and ages and fulfil the needs of both serious and competitive runners and fun or social runners.
We also hold regular social events for our members, friends and families.
​
If you are new to running, have run before and want to return or just want to improve your health and fitness, we are an all-inclusive club and arrange both training sessions and club runs to suit all abilities.
We also regularly run Couch to 5K programmes and further details can be found by visiting our Couch to 5K page.
