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!"

Race Report: Striding Sandstone 23/03/2014

In aid of Cancer Research UK South Cheshire Harriers were hosting an informal 6 miles or 15 miles known as the Striding Sandstone.

This was a fabulous off-road course that started and finished at the Candle workshop near Burwardsley with many, many, many climbs, lots of mud, no stiles but lots of gates.



There were beautiful views of Beeston and Peckforton castles and across the Cheshire plane. I arrived at 9am to snow, hail, sleet and rain and finished in beautiful  spring sunshine. I REALLY would recommend this course next year if you get bored of roads and need a bit more excitement.

Thanks a million to Dave and his team at South Cheshire Harriers for organising a great event and providing amazing cake afterwards. Who knows, I may even give the 15 miler a go next year :)
