It’s been an action-packed week for the Benson Striders!

Massive shoutout to Asuka for helping organising another brilliant Cholsey School Treehouse 5/10k event - it was great to see so many club members involved. Huge congratulations to Jessie for taking the age group win in the 5k, and a big thank you to Vicki and Simon for volunteering as tail runners! 👏

Our Couch to 5k group is still going strong, and a huge well done to Torrin for completing the White Horse Half Marathon! 🏃‍♂️💨

With the Benson Weir reopening on Wednesday, we celebrated with a fantastic riverside session led by our coach Emma, followed by a well-earned drink at The Crown. 🍻
