Please note that since Portsmouth Joggers have now announced that their annual summer cross country race will take place on Wednesday, 27th July, at 7:15 pm there will be no official training session at Kidmore lane on that evening. The training schedule has been updated to reflect this.

All members are encouraged to enter this race – it is lovely venue and interesting course of approximately 5 miles – if a little undulating!

This has always been a popular race and, in recent years, has filled up quickly. Entries are limited to 250 runners so it is therefore highly recommended that you enter as soon as possible in order to secure your place- the relevant link is Summer Cross Country Entry.

Well done to everyone who participated in last night’s 10 k club run and a big thank you to all the volunteer marshals who made sure that nobody got lost en route!

Results are now available – follow 10 k Club Run link

Following on from last night’s Summer Handicap Run and Sunday’s Netley 10k , both competition results have now been updated. Please follow the links below

Striders’ League

Denmead Striders absolutely dominated the Clanfield Challenge with first placed male and female! 6 men in the top ten as well as lots of category prizes. Some great performances at Netley too. All in all an excellent weekend of running!

Congratulations to the four Striders who all ran marathons in great times last Sunday.  Linda Taylor ran the Shakespeare marathon while Martin Parfitt, Jeffrey Streeter (achieved a PB) and Stuart Hoare  completed the Southampton  event. Equally commendable are Jenny Parks who ran the Southampton Half Marathon Gary McCawley and Anita Crawley who tackled the undulating  Angmering 10 mile Bluebell Trail Run and Nick Bailey for completing the 10k at the same venue.

This is just a reminder that the AGM & Awards Night takes place on the 18th March at the RNA Club.  The AGM starts at 7.15 with the Awards to follow after.  It would be great to see as many of you there to celebrate the successes over the last couple of tricky years.

It is that time of year, folks, when membership subscriptions are due. and Julia will be delighted to receive your remittances as soon as possible.

The membership fee remains unchanged this year at £26 of which £16 goes straight to England Athletics. The remaining £10 for club membership, unchanged for many years, represents a real bargain when you consider the benefits of belonging to our amazing club:

•     Two structured training sessions each week led by our EA qualified coaches
•      Free social events – e.g. Christmas party, summer barbecue etc
•      Regular discounts from Sportshoes.com
•      Free entry to club competitions – Summer Handicap, Striders’ League, Winter         Time Trials
•      Free transport to annual Ryde 10m in February.

In addition, registration as an EA athlete gives you a £2 discount off every race you enter, so the EA fee pays for itself if you compete in just eight races annually.

Please follow the link membership payment for details of  how to submit your subscription.  Payment by BACS if possible but cheque or cash is fine – post or pass to Julia on club night (Wednesdays)

Thank you.

WOW,  Today I’m overwhelmed by the strength of such a small but mighty club!  Not only did we put on a successful Denmead 10k Race with a completely new race Committee but we also fielded a strong cross-country team.   For me this gives me strength and depth in our team.  Your commitment and dedication in everything you guys do makes me very proud to be a Strider. Thank you! 

It makes my job as Chair (whatever I am) very pleasurable
