Every year, usually announced at the Stowmarket Striders Christmas Party, the club announces the males and female Club Champion and Striders of the Year.

Club Championships

The club championships are a series of 6 races held over the summer months using a handicapped system over a set 5km route from Mid-Suffolk Leisure Centre.  Full details of this series can be found on the Club Championships page.  Male and Female winners each receive a shield engraved with their name.

The 2007 winners are:-

Strider of the Year

This award is voted by the members of the club.  Voting for your male and female Strider of the Year can be based on a number of factors:-

• Who you think has ran their hearts out during the past year.
• Who you think has worked hardest on behalf of the club.
• Who you think has represented the club best.
• Who you think has entertained us best.
• Who you think has been more than just a Strider member.
• Who you think deserves the grand title of Strider of the Year.

Voting starts a few weeks before the Christmas Party, usually mid-November, and ends on the night of the Christmas Party.  The Chairman will then count the votes and announce the winner on the night.

The Male Strider receives for the following year the 'George Leggett Cup', a pewter cup in memory of a club member, George Leggett, who died before his time in 2004.

The Ladies Strider of the year receives a Irish Crystal glass bowl
