Stopsley Striders

Stopsley Striders is an adults-only running club in Luton, meeting at Inspire Luton Sports Village on Monday and Thursday evenings, with an additional coached track session on Tuesdays at Stockwood Park. Formed in 1982 from a local jogging course started by international athlete Tony Simmons, it now has around 175 to 200 members across a wide range of pace groups, competes on road and in cross country, and hosts the Stopsley Trail Race, the Stopsley Challenge and an annual 13-week beginners' course each April.
