Club History

Penny Lane Striders was formed in 1985 by Neville Parsons and Jack Clark, with the assistance of Gordon Hall. All three shared the same passion, of wanting to establish an organised running club to accommodate the grass roots runner. In recognition of this achievement all three are now honorary lifetime members alongside Gerry Delahunty who revived the 10 mile race.

Since 1985 Penny Lane has developed into a friendly running club that has around 200 members. We are a friendly bunch, mostly normal, and although most of us would like to be fitter and faster (and younger) there is no pressure. We organise our training runs to cater for all abilities from the novice to the serious runner. We frequently get together for social events, activities and races.

We are affiliated to England Athletics Association. Members therefore do not have to pay the non affiliated entry fee levy to enter races organised under the rules of UK Athletics, and are covered by their insurance. Affiliation fees support the development of the sport locally and nationally.

The hardest part of running for fitness is sticking to a training programme. Belonging to a running club might just give you the motivation you need to achieve your aims. If you live in or near South Liverpool then you will find a warm welcome at our training sessions where you can meet us and find out more about membership.

Noel Lappin
*** WITH DEEP SADNESS THE CLUB ANNOUNCE THE PASSING AWAY OF NOEL LAPPIN ****

It is with deep sadness that the committee have to announce that one of our long standing
members has sadly passed away very suddenly on 30 November 2010

Noel Lappin was a character. He loved his running, and despite enduring some setbacks and some tough
injuries in recent years, he always persevered and kept turning out for the club he loved.

He was a proper strider and will be sadly missed. 

The funeral took place on Friday 10 December 2010
at 12 Noon at All Saints Church, Speke
