RUN THE RUNWAYS 2019 Entry Update
Hi guys,
We are delighted to say that the event is well over 2/3 full. That means we are down to our last hundred odd places and we fully expect the event to sell out in the next couple of weeks!
... What are you waiting for?
You won’t get a flatter, safer or more friendly 5/10k all year!
Don’t miss out on the infamous Scrabo Striders catering or atmosphere!
We have some awesome entertainment planned and did someone say SELFIE FRAME?
I’d buy entry just to get my hands on the fantastic bespoke medal!
See you May 10th at 6.30pm
😎

Scrabo Striders Titanic Effort: Titanic running effort on Sunday and at the Dublin to Belfast Ultra!

Good Morning Striders! Tonight's session will be Oregon Circuits. This is a strength and conditioning session which will work and build the major muscle groups in your legs and make you a stronger more efficient runner. The session will consist of a lap of 3/4 of the pitch and you will then enter the exercise station where there will be 5 different exercises to perform. You will do an exercise then a lap and then repeat until all the stations are completed. At this point... you can have a recovery lap or return to the beginning and start again. It is a tough but fun session and we'll even have a bit of music to keep you going.
"Strength workouts should be on every runner's training schedule, because a stronger leg is a speedier, more resilient leg" Champion CSX
Good luck to all the runners doing the Queen's 5K this evening!

Scrabo Striding Internationally: Members of Scrabo Striders have been travelling far and wide competing in running events this week.

Such an awesome club, so friendly and relaxed, they really do make running fun. All levels of runners are welcome, from the slow to the fast everyone is treated the same! I love it!

Love the people and Norman, Hannah and Sam are the loveliest people you could ever wish to meet.

Love it! Great team spirit shown towards eveyone no matter your ability

Just joined this club recently, exceptionally friendly, enjoyable running with a group, coaches are great and really does cater for all. If you are nervous about joining, don’t be.

Joined this club recently after graduating from C25K. So glad I did!!Cater for all abilities, amazing coaches everyone very encouraging and friendly.. Love it �

I loved it but my legs are burning now all right!!

I joined Scrabo Striders at the end of Aug 2016 and never looked back #PurplePower. The coaches are 1st class, knowledgeable and motivated. The social media support and website are informative, with more than enough information for beginners/developing runners (joggers). Most of all, the members are friendly, welcoming, dedicated and supportive. I've met a lot of good people in the club and by chance have made some good friends along the way.

Great session as always..love it

Sam and norman thankyou so much

Great coaches and great people!! I love the environment, the way the work outs help you to tailor and improve your running technique. This club welcomes members of all ages, genders and abilities and everyone in it makes you feel welcome and is very friendly! It is great to go to a club, keep fit, run and have a good nights craic in a non-competitive environment! Keep up the great work guys - proud now to be a member who looks forward to Monday and Wednesday night training sessions! Thanks! Kirsty Potato Bread Girl NI
