Who We Are
Methley Striders is a running club based in Methley LS26. The club is affiliated to England Athletics.
It was established on 6 April 2017 with 3 founding members, and since the first session when we were joined by approximately 15 runners from the local community, we now have over 100 members and we continue to grow.
We also like to get involved in our local community and you may see members litter-picking with Methley wombles, or planting flowers for Methley in Bloom. In 2023/24, our club was nominated for 2 awards at the England Athletics Yorkshire and Humber Regional Volunteer awards:
1st place for Community Project of the Year
and
3rd place for Club of the year!
What We Offer Our Members
We aim to cater for all running abilities, whether you’re completely new to running, returning, working towards marathon or more. We constantly develop our offer based on member feedback. We have runners who have joined us never having run a race but have gone on to achieve marathon distances and runners who don’t wish to do distances or races but run purely for the social element.
