The Thursday evening sessions at Driffield School track will resume on April 11 (6-7pm). They are geared towards children who want to run competitively or just keep fit.
Youngsters aged 6-16 will be able to participate in games, general fitness exercises and running routines aimed at improving their endurance, speed and co-ordination.
Last year around 30 youngsters practised distances from 100 metres to a mile, plus relays and measured their fitness against the “bleep test.”
Striders have been organising junior training for nine years now. Said spokesman Paul Grinstead: “These evenings have appealed to children who want to run seriously or for fun.
“One result has been that some of their parents have taken up running too.”
The sessions cost £1.50. Just turn up on the night or contact Gaye Eling (tel. 01377 253571) or Paul Grinstead (tel. 01377 255272)
