Our Committee
St Helens Striders is ran by an amazing team of volunteers, without who we wouldn't be able to exist. We're super grateful to everyone that dedicates their time to help with all aspects of club life.

The Coaches
The Coaches are the brains behind the amazing training that the club delivers. They're an experienced bunch and come from a variety of backgrounds, giving a great blend of knowledge for members to take advantage of. They're on hand to support and guide our members in all aspects of their running. All of our Coaches hold the England Athletics 'Coach in Running Fitness' qualification.

Run Leaders
Probably the most important part of the team, our Run Leaders are the ones that turn up week-in-week-out to deliver our training sessions. Over 30 of our members dedicate their spare time to ensure every training session is both enjoyable and effective.

Welfare Officers
We take the wellbeing of our members very seriously and our Welfare Officers are a critical part of ensuring everyone has a positive and enjoyable experience. They're there to support members who have any concerns or troubles and will work with the Committee to seek resolution where necessary. Rachel Tickle and Kieran Allen are the current Welfare Officers.
Social Committee
The Social Committee is responsible for organising our social events, including our annual Christmas Party. They work really hard to come up with exciting things to bring us together when we're not running.
