Tweed Striders is a fully inclusive, supportive and sociable running club. We welcome runners of all abilities (though we do ask that you are over 18, can run 5k comfortably) and we cater for all running aims – be that running for enjoyment, running to get fit or running to prepare for a specific race. This forms part of our club ethos so is very important to us.
Training, which encompasses all aspects of running and makes the most of our beautiful location, is delivered by fully qualified and experienced coaches and leaders, with sessions being structured, progressive and differentiated to meet the needs, aims and abilities of all – from the fast to the “improvers”, not forgetting those in between. We meet Tuesday at 6.20 pm (for a 6.30 pm start) and Thursday at 6.50 pm (for a 7 pm start) usually at the bottom end of Tweedbank Retail Park (TD15 2AS). However, at the start of every week, confirmation of venue is posted on our Facebook page and texted to members. Some members arrange to run at times outwith this and, from time-to-time, we organise club social events.
Finally, in July, Tweed Striders hosts the annual Curfew Fun Run alongside the traditional Curfew Run and we are also a member of the Borders Cross-Country Series so host one leg of the eight leg series, usually in December. We are proud to host these events as they are inclusive, challenging yet accessible to all and, perhaps more importantly, great fun … and running should be fun!
