Welcome to Danetre Striders!
We are a group founded by runners for runners of any ability, based in Daventry, Northamptonshire
Collectively we are here to encourage, support and inject some fun into the sport.
With our core group members, we have experience in in all distances from Couch to 5k- all the way up to ultra marathon distances!
This is not your average running group- sessions are put on based on feedback and we are always looking at ways to improve the group, so feedback is always welcome!
The most important thing is for everyone to enjoy running to socialise, prepare for a race, or even just to keep fit.
So, whether you are striving for that PB, or looking to find some people with a similar mindset then we are here for you!
Come along and join us for a session, and help shape the future of a running club made for runners!
Meet the team
As our club continues to develop, we are committed to providing everyone with the chance to engage and contribute to its future direction. We take great pride in valuing our members' voices and will always prioritise their messages and feedback.

Founding Member
Wayne's passion for running began in junior school, and he has continued to pursue it ever since. For the past five years, he has served as a runleader for England Athletics, guiding runners to enhance their skills and find joy in the sport.
Phil's running journey commenced in 2013 while he was cheering on his wife at the Great South Run. He relishes the exhilaration that follows a run. One piece of advice he offers is to keep in mind that running should be enjoyable, regardless of whether the experience is easy or challenging; it's all about appreciating the time spent outdoors.
Chris began his running journey in 2017 by taking part in the local Parkrun. Chris finds that running significantly contributes to both his mental and physical well-being, and enjoys the supportive and friendly nature of the running community.

In 2011, Jane embarked on her running journey with the goal of finishing a triathlon before turning 50. Since then, she has successfully completed numerous triathlons, although her current focus has shifted more towards swimming and running. Jane appreciates the freedom that running offers, requiring minimal equipment, and she values the social connections she has formed, making many friends along the way.
