The Long Distance Strider Competition

Have you ever wondered how many Striders it would take to circumnavigate the earth (24,902 miles)? This club competition, first started in February 2006, will help answer the question. In a nutshell the winners of the Long Distance Strider competition are the Striders who clock up the most race miles in the year. Race times will have no bearing and so there will be no age categories, just men and women. There are only 2 rules: one, that the race must take place between 1st January and 31st December; two, it has to be some sort of race that can be verified.

Updates will appear below and in the Striders News and below. If you have completed a race that doesn't appear on any of the Striders results pages then email you results to the club Road Race Secretary or the webmaster. Get OpenOffice for free Excel.
