Saltaire Striders is a small, friendly running club with its headquarters at Esholt Sports and Social Club near Saltaire, West Yorkshire. The club organises a number of runs throughout the week (see the When/Where we Meet page for details and maps) and caters for adult athletes of any age from 18 to 85 and of any ability from complete beginner to serious athlete.

All abilities are catered for and we pride ourselves on looking after newcomers - nobody gets left behind.

New members are welcome to come and try us for free for several weeks before they need to pay any subscriptions.

Training sessions are varied with runs between 3 and 8 miles in distance - on the road during the winter months and mainly off road through the local woods and moors when light permits. Speed and hill sessions are also incorporated in the training program devised by the UK Athletics qualified male and female club coaches/run in England leaders. The coaches are always willing to discuss and assist you with any training matters and will be happy to devise individual training plans to meet specific needs/goals.

Members of the club compete in races on the roads, fells and cross country.

Socially the club organises quiz nights, ladies and men's socials, trips to races, etc.

Full Membership is £15 per year, with special rates for first year members, students and unwaged. The membership fee includes annual membership of Esholt Sports & Social Club enabling use of their facilities at any time.
