On Monday 6th October, we were very pleased to hand over more vital lifesaving equipment to Peter Eates, chairman of the Phoenix Striders.
The clubs objectives align closely with that of the Finish Line Fund:
- To provide a local friendly walking and running club, which is easily accessible to everyone regardless of gender, age or ability allowing people to progress at their own pace
- To promote fitness levels and encourage people to look after themselves through regular exercise
- To promote amateur athletics
- For Phoenix Striders to work in partnership with agencies, organizations and charities to promote walking and running as a means to a healthier lifestyle
They are responsible for putting on a number of local races including their Summer series, Denton Demon 5 and the Thameside 5 & 10k.
