A friendly running club based in Leeds.

Welcome to Valley Striders!

We are a friendly running club based in Alwoodley, Leeds.

We compete in road, fell, cross country and trail running, and we enter teams into county, regional and national events.

All ages and abilities meet for training on Tuesday evenings at the Old Leodiensian club (“Leo’s”), with additional social runs setting off from various locations on Thursday evenings.

We have over 250 adult members, ranging from complete beginners to 2:30 marathon runners.  We also have a thriving junior section with over 100 members aged 8 and up, as well as a cycling club and a triathlon club adding a further 200+ adult members to our ranks.
