Lakeshore Striders
Lakeshore Striders are a senior running club based in Blessington, Co. Wicklow. Formed in 2007 we have around 40 members and this continues to grow. 2011 saw the completion of a 400m gravel running track at Blessington, Community College which is of huge benefit to our club. Our club is all inclusive, from beginners to marathoners and new members are always welcome.
Lakeshore Striders is also the host club for The Lakes 10k race. We are very proud of the face that over the past 3 years this race has raised over €52,000 for Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland. This well ragarded race is a must for any runner.
