“Sittingbourne Striders”      Christmas Party 2009 The club was formed by a group of four friends who began running regularly together.  Their names were John Pape (deceased), Ben Map, Geof Pitcock and Steve Steer. Sittingbourne Striders became a recognised club registered with the Kent and South East Athletics Association in February 1986.  Since it’s humble beginings the club has grown to a current membership of approximately 90.  The aim in the begining as it is now is to create a road running club for all abilities in the local area.  We are a friendly club that tries to make running enjoyable as well as competitive. We also participate in the Kent Fitness Cross Country League and host our own 10 mile race on the first Sunday of October each year. We also have a strong social calender which included a 25th Anniversary party which was held in February (2011).  Our aim is to make sure that all club members enjoy being a member of the club proud to wear our club colours.  Sittingbourne Striders Kent Fitness League 2010 Welcome London 2011
