Join us to help celebrate 33 years of the fabulous 30k
The Stamford Striders' St
Valentine 30K Race is the flagship event organised by the Club. It is run each
year on the Sunday closest to St Valentine's Day. It is recognised nationally
as a tough event, providing a good training race for those planning a spring
marathon. The 2027 event will be the 33rd running of this
prestigious event and will take place at 1100 on Sunday 14 Feb 2027.
This is a club race organised by runners for runners. Famed for our enthusiastic marshals and efficient organisation, we will cheer you round this testing course.
Runners who select TREE will once again be able to contribute to TEES for TREES instead of receiving a race shirt, or even buy a T as well as sponsor a tree.
We will be using the same shirt supplier that we have used for the past 2 years. They are athletic fit and come up small. Size up - if you know, you know!
Old Romantics that we are,
if you are in a “genuine relationship” with another runner, why not
register as a Valentine Pair? You’ll get a box of chocs from us, and your
combined times might win you a couple’s prize. No, we don’t need to see
marriage certificates or anything, but we do trust that you are a
couple!
We hope you will appreciate
that large sums of money will have been committed well ahead of the race,
accordingly the race is subject to a NO REFUNDS POLICY regardless of the cause
of the cancellation if you drop out. We now offer individual runners the option of insurance. We also offer a god transfer system to let you move your place to another runner you know
or to someone on our waiting list.
Please Note: You must be 18 years or older to enter.
Love Running, Love the 30k
Charlie Noble
Race Director
