Over the 30 years that the Striders have been in existence there have arisen a number of awards for members who have contributed to the club in various ways. Not all of these are necessarily for athletic prowess ! These are presented during the Striders awards night, usually held in January, along with a cheque for the money raised by the Mince Pie 10 for our chosen charity. One thing that is certain is a good time is had by all !!
