Striders are a running club based in Croydon, Surrey. We run from our clubhouse (see map) in Sandilands, Addiscombe, Croydon on Sundays at 8.30 a.m., Wednesdays at 7.30 p.m. and Fridays at 7.00 p.m.
 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' 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!!
  On Wednesdays there is the option of running for 40 minutes or an hour in one of 3 groups – a fast group for runners capable of a 45 minute 10K, a middle group for runners who can do a 46 – 52 minute 10K and a final group for runners doing 52 – 70 minutes (roughly 8.5 to 11 minutes per mile).
 On Sundays the choice is usually for 60 or 90 minutes as a single group.
Friday night is a Social Run of about 40 minutes run at a much slower pace of about 11 to 12 minutes per mile. The aim is to keep together as a group for a social chat and is ideal as an introduction for new members or those new to running. In addition there will usually be a faster run starting at the same time.
