Allen Valley Striders is a running club in the North East of England.
Allen Valley Striders was founded in 2005 and initally based at Deneholme. Currently most club runs start from Allendale Primary School.
Allen Valley Striders welcomes applications from all people over the age of 16 including people with disabilities and those from ethnic minorities. See the membership page for more details about joining.
Our club motto is “fun, fitness, friendship”, and that’s really what the club is all about.
We welcome all abilities including novices. We can devise improvement programmes for our beginners if they want. Several of our members have joined with no running experience and have progressed with help and encouragement from the club to run half- and full marathons.
Allen Valley Striders welcome everyone from all communities and is not exclusive to the “local community”. Although ‘Allen Valley’ is in the name, the club has members from Haltwhistle, Haydon Bridge and Hexham, and we welcome you to join us wherever you live.
