Swindon Striders

We are a friendly road and trail running club based in Swindon. Created in 1995 by a small group of recreational runners we have always aimed to welcome all levels and type of runner. So whether you just want to get fit in the fresh air, meet like minded people or want to train hard for that next race there are runners of all types at the club.

Monday and Friday club runs are in line with England Athletics, with a maximum of 30 runners meeting. Runners are running in smaller groups according to their pace.

    Online Covid-19 Questionnaire


      Organised COVID-19 Secure Group Run

      Health Questionnaire

      The safety of our club members and families remain Swindon Striders overriding priority. As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve, the club continues to monitor the situation closely and will periodically update the guidance based on the current recommendations from the UK Government, Public Health England, and England Athletics.

      In line with the England Athletic guidelines for ‘Organised Group Activity’, the club can organise runs in groups larger than 6, if running in a COVID-19 Secure environment. This means the club must demonstrate that all reasonable precautions have been taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to reduce the potential risk of exposure to our members.

      The completion of this health questionnaire is important to help us take precautionary measures to protect you, your fellow runners, and the public. Thank you for your time.
