High flyers at RAF Cranwell
Races & resultsTwo Striders joined a limited field of 36 runners at RAF Cranwell for an undulating 10k race on Sunday (May 13). Warm sunshine and a stiff breeze was ideal for gliding, but not perfect for running. That didn’t prevent Celina Silver 'flying high' with a PB of 55:19, shaving 4 secs off her previous best and taking 25th place. Nicholas Smith finished in 13th in 46:59.

Summer Ball *Saturday 21st July*
As if the Jubolympics wasn’t enough to get jiggling about this summer, at this year’s Striders’ Summer Ball (Sat 21st July 7pm-midnight) you can treat yourself to great food, dizzying drink and as much dancing as your horny (in the callusy sense) feet can take. The centrally placed William Cecil returns by popular demand as our venue for the night and there'll be a hog roast, salad bar and choice of summer desserts to get your teeth into.Tickets are £25 each, with partners welcome to join us for the same keenly priced fee. If you're a club member, you can email Zoe right now to reserve places!

Double win and cheesy grins at Long Clawson
Races & resultsBig cheeses Mark Popple and Maggie Skinner put in unfeta'd performances at the Long Clawson 10k on Sunday (May 13), each toasting first places. The awesome twosome creamed the opposition by treading Caerphilly over the muddy and massively 'undulating' course and were rewarded for their efforts with giant blue cheeses from the Clawson dairy. Photos in the gallery.

Hardy bunch defy broken toes and hurty heels
Races & resultsFive Striders were among 207 runners that took on the 4th May Day Challenge from the Leicestershire village of Woodhouse Eaves. The undulating multi-terrain 13.5ml course encompassing Bradgate and Beacon Hill parks included road, tracks, footpaths and bridleways - and despite recent rain the course wasn't too boggy underfoot, although decent conditions didn't make the hills any easier. Paul Hannah, running with a broken toe, was the first Strider home in 31st position and a time of 1:46:22 (5 minutes quicker than last year). Next was Mick Revill (40th, 1:47:40) and completing the men's line-up was Pete Thomas, a rare outing that claimed him 44th position (1:48:28). For the ladies, Amanda Hannah was 76th (1:59:07) and Sheona Revill, running with an injured heel, finished 151st (2:18:53).

The Battle of the Damp Tulip
Races & resultsAs north-easterly winds brought driving rain into Spalding from the Wash, a handful of hardy Stamford Striders battled their way alongside the wet and windy Welland river bank and out into the marshes to complete the 2nd Tulip 10k race. From 123 entrants only 86 competitors completed the course proving that a warm bed was the preferred option for many on a rain-lashed Sunday morning. Leading the Striders home in 15th place was Mick Revill in 42:54 just one place ahead of Paul Hannah (43:12). Nicholas Smith (47:34) arrived at the finish some minutes later in 33rd position, soon to be followed by Sheona Revill (49th, 52:09) and Celina Silver (70th, 58:15). Not surprisingly there were no personal bests in such challenging conditions, but much personal pride to bring back to Stamford.
