| Enjoyed the Relay Handicap? |
Then join us for another on Sunday 12th September, when the Striders will be relaying (and picnicking) with the Rutland Runners.
The Whitwell-Exton course is a real baton-twirler, with stunning scenery and hidden gems along the route. Plus, there’s plenty for the family to do while you’re running and those generous guys at Rutland Watersports are letting us use their showers and changing facilities. Sounds good? Find out more on the Forum - or if can't yet log in, email Nick for the lowdown.

| Hereward Relay 2010 |
It’s big (it’s usually bitterly cold) and it’s back on Sunday November 28. It can only be the Hereward Relay – 38.4 mud-splattered miles, ready and waiting for Striders to take on.
Teams of 4 can enter now, and it would be brilliant to build on last year’s strong Stamford turn-out. Each runner takes a leg of the course (between 6 and 11 miles) to complete the Peterborough to Ely distance, with their team-mates driving along armed with hot drinks and warm clothes to greet them at the hand-over point for the next stage.
It’s great fun and a fantastic way to get to know other Striders, so whether you’re a beginner or an old hand at the Hereward, add your name to the list in 'Club Events' on the Forum or, if you can't yet log-in, send us an email.

| Relay Handicap |
Great to see so many of you at the Relay Handicap and Club Awards.
52 runners took part in the handicap relay - 26 pairs - our largest entry for the event ever thanks to so many of our newest members coming along to join in the fun. Well done to everyone who took part!
And a huge thank you also to the Striders, partners and friends that came along to support the race and to act as marshalls - we couldn't have run it without you.
Congratulations to the winners: Julie Morris and Mark Greenwood - a combined winning time of 68 mins 31 secs. Second place went to Claire Watkin and Iain Cameron (69:12) and in third place was Josh Jordan-Boddey and Pete (sorry didn't get your surname!) in 70:24.
Race results can be found here.

| Round Britain Relay |
Robin Ball has been holding the baton for the Striders - during the local leg of the Round Britain Relay.
After 15.6 miles along the sea bank from Sutton Bridge to King's Lynn - and avoiding several amorous bullocks - Robin rounded off with a sprint finish to hand over the baton at sunset.
You can see pictures of Robin's leg (in fact, both legs make an appearance) in the Photo Gallery and his full account is on the Forum in the Race Reports section.
For more info on the Round Britain Relay track Barry the Baton's progress.

| Algie and Alan's big feat |
Algie Audas and Alan Hayes showed true grit in the new Fat Feet Grimsthorpe Ultra 70.
Having set off on the non-stop 70-mile run at 10am on July 23 they both crossed the finish line early the following morning - sore but smiling.
Algie completed the course in 15hrs 41mins and took 15th place, with Alan finishing in 17hrs 17mins and 19th.
Congratulations both - a truly awe-inspiring achievement!
