Calling all UNATTACHED runners. Thinking of joining a running club? Why not try Merry Hill Striders! New Beginner’s Course Starts Tuesday April 1st
2008 Click here to read more about our Couch-to-5K Beginners' Plan Merry Hill Striders is a well-established running club based in the Black Country. We cater for runners of all ages and abilities and provide training and advice for distances from 10km to a full marathon. We all have our own motives for running, some train hard for marathons while others just do it for fun. Whatever our reasons for running we enjoy getting together several times a week and attempt to improve our overall fitness. The club has a busy social calendar and a friendly atmosphere. After we have run we all enjoy socialising over a pint or two in the clubhouse, it’s quite cheap, and its always a good time to swap stories and training tips. Merry Hill Striders has been affiliated to the BAF since 15th September 1989, and registered with the Midland Counties Athletics Association. Our members take advantage of the affiliation through discounted entry fees to races within the UK. The club competes in a variety of local events and races. During the summer we compete in the Worcester 10km Road Race series. The club also stages it’s own very successful cross-country race in November each year, the infamous Suicide Six, where all hands to the pump are needed to continue to make it a success. We are a friendly club of men and women runners of all ages and abilities. So, whether you are aiming to run a marathon or just want to keep fit, you would be most welcome. We are based at the Dudley M. B. Sports and Social Club in Hill Crest Avenue, Brierley Hill and meet on Tuesdays and Thursday evenings at 6.30pm for training runs of various distances and paces. Free car parking, both male and female changing facilities with free showers. One of our club rules is that nobody is left to run on their own, so don’t be worried about getting left behind, especially if you are a beginner! So, why not turn up on a Tuesday or Thursday evening and give us a try, if you like what you find, we’ll sign you up! We meet at Dudley MB Sports & Social Club Hillcrest Avenue Brierley Hill West Midlands Before embarking on any physical exercise regime it is worth having a check-up with your doctor.
