About us

Sandbach Striders was born back in 2003. Since the early days, membership has grown with a firm ethos of the club being not just about running but social activities as well. The club is affiliated to UK AAA and has its own qualified coaches. Many other special events take place on various nights too.

The club meets on Wednesdays at 18:30 and Sundays at 09:00 at Elworth Cricket Club.

Whilst many members compete in races from 5k to Marathons, the emphasis remains purely on keeping people motivated and having fun. Why not scan through our race reports to see what we’ve been up to? Having read them, you’re sure to see why Sandbach Striders has developed the motto of being

"No Ordinary Running Club!"

London Monopoly Run - Book your place now!

Saturday October 20th sees the inaugural Sandbach Striders Monopoly run.


A 15.7 mile run/walk/crawl through the streets of London around every location on the Monopoly board.


Entry is open to all members of Sandbach Striders and costs a mere £5 - All speeds are welcome, no-one will be left behind (this is a social/fun event not a race!)

There will be a special memento of a technical t-shirt for every one who completes the course.


Mik will need your entry money and t-shirt size by Wednesday 26th September at the very latest.

Paul Nicholls is co-ordinating car sharing as train tickets are not especially cheap.

Event details,

We will meet at the Seymour Leisure Centre, Seymour Place, W1H 5TH. 

The event will start at 11am to allow people to travel down and not have to get up at the crack of dawn!
