There is a place for you here.
Forget pace. Forget distance. Forget experience.
STRIDE isn’t about being the fastest runner. It’s about making time for yourself, building healthier habits and connecting with people who understand the unique pressures of working in education.
You don’t even need to call yourself a runner.
You simply need to take your first stride.

Celebrate Every Success
Every achievement matters.
From your first walk to your fastest marathon, we’ll celebrate every milestone together.
Every runner was once a beginner.
Every marathon runner once struggled through their first mile.
Every parkrunner once wondered whether they could finish.
Every confident runner once had to start somewhere.
If you’ve been thinking about starting, you’re exactly where you need to be.
Walk. Jog. Run. Run-walk.
It all counts.
Success doesn’t come from talent alone—it comes from turning up consistently, one step at a time.
Inspired by the philosophy of Paula Radcliffe
