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.

Penny Lane Race History

The Penny Lane Striders Road Race began as a 10 mile event originally staged and run from the Greenbank Project in 1987. The Race was revived in 1996 and remained a 10 miler until 1999 when, because of restrictions affecting the 10 mile course, was converted to a 10k distance, the distance that is run today. In 2008 the Penny Lane Striders celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Race which has become a popular and well supported annual event.

From 2010 The Annual 10k race starts on Otterspool Promenade at the bottom of the Police Club and finishes with a grandstand finish inside the grounds of the Police Club.
