Welcome to Goyt Valley Striders

Goyt Valley Striders are a friendly running club based in Whaley Bridge, in the beautiful Goyt Valley, Derbyshire. As we are on the fringes of the Peak District National Park, we believe this area offers some of the finest countryside for running, both on and off-road. So whether you prefer Fell, Trail or Road running there are plenty of lovely routes on offer.

Our members are a varied mix of ages, gender and ability. So whether you are a runner who is chasing that marathon PB, training for an ultra, or just a 10K or 5K, or indeed are new to running and just want to improve then we have a group for you to run with. Maybe you just like to go out for a social running chat whilst enjoying the scenery, or exploring new routes around our area, whatever the reason, then there are sessions for you too. There is one thing you can always be assured of and that is a very warm welcome.

The club also organises the Eccles Pike and Whaley Waltz Fell Races as well as the Buxworth 5 road race. More details on these can be found in the menu listed above.
