Grab a brew and settle in folks… this is going to be a long one! ☕🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
The Kimberworth Striders have been racing all over the place this week, and there have been plenty of brilliant performances, podiums and personal challenges along the way! 👏

Damflask Relays – A Fantastic Strider Team Effort!

On Tuesday 16th June, 9 Kimberworth Striders teams headed to Low Bradfield to take on the Damflask Relays.

With humid conditions and a challenging climb to tackle, it was a tough evening — but nothing could match the determination and team spirit of our Striders! Every runner gave their all and represented the club brilliantly.

A special congratulations to our Senior Women’s team — Amy Roper-Bryce, Olivia Taylor and Jo Rooney — who finished 10th in their category with an impressive overall time of 1:18:22.

Well done also to our Senior Men’s team — Jack Harvey, Alex Broadhead, Steve O’Neil and Matt Allott — who battled against some very strong competition to secure a fantastic 15th place finish.

A huge well done to every Strider who took part — what a brilliant display of teamwork, effort and club spirit.

Proud to be Kimberworth Striders! 🖤💛
