Stowmarket Striders are proud to hold Clubmark status (renewed again in Januar 2012).

England Athletics Accredited Club status forms part of the national cross sports quality accreditation scheme, 'Clubmark'. 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. These include ensuring that there is a suitable coaching programme, that effective safeguarding policies and practices are in place and that the club has an up to date development plan.

Heidi Bingham, our club Welfare Officer, ensures we continually adhere to the required standards which in turn ensure the clubs duites to safe guard their Junior members.

Claire Bardsley and Sean Doherty are organising a 10 mile sponsored run in aid of Ipswich Special Care Baby Unit. The run will take place on 11th March 2012 starting from Cotton Church and finishing at Stowmarket Leisure Centre, running via Mendlesham Green and Stowupland.

Sadly Claire lost her twin boys 18 years ago and this is to commemerate the boys on what would have been their 18th birthday

Claire and Sean have been running for about 2 years now and this will be the furthest that either of them has ever run. They would love the support of their fellow Strider's either by running with them or sponsoring them. There will be an entry fee, that will go towards a commerative momento for taking part.

Please contact Sean on 07753439714 or email: sheeppd68@hotmail.com for sponsorship forms or for further details

We had a great turnout of 32 Striders to run the second leg of the Cross Country Series at Sutton, near Woodbridge today, (2 juniors, 21 men and 9 women). The two lap course had deep sand in places which made for some tough running. First Strider home was Chris Starmer, first lady Strider Laura Hicks and first junior Strider Emily Moyes. Special mention needs to go to Michael Jones who biked to the race, put in a great run and then biked home again! Great running everyone.
