Welcome to Kimberley and District Striders (KADS)

​We're a friendly running club based in Kimberley near Nottingham. Our focus is on fun, mutual support and social interaction, but we're also very active on the racing scene and take part in competitions throughout the year.

We're always on the look out for new members! We offer a couple of free, zero obligation evening runs to help you feel confident you'll like the club before joining. Hit the button below to learn more.

Where to Find KADS
We usually meet at Kimberley Institute Cricket Club. This map shows the location of the club, accessed via a driveway from Newdigate Street at NG16 2NJ.

From January 2022 we'll meet at the cricket club twice a week, on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at 6.50pm for a 7pm start. We alternate between these types of run:
  • 'map runs', which are usually between 3 and 8 miles around local routes in pace-matched groups.
  • 'structured sessions' which are typically hill repeats, intervals and fartlek (speed play) sessions. These are again on local roads, parks and trails.
  • 'track sessions' which are interval-based (repeated shorter and faster efforts, to build speed). These are held at the athletics track at Rutland Sports Park in Ilkeston (West End Drive, Ilkeston DE7 5GH).

Parking is available on-site at the cricket club (Wednesdays only) and at the Rutland Sports Park. To check where future training and racing sessions will be, please check the calendar below.

What's Happening at KADS!

The Colliers Wood Canter

Each month we host our established, free-of-charge timed 3Km and 5Km events at Colliers Wood in Moorgreen (how to get to Colliers Wood). Whether you're a member or not, and whether you want to walk or run, you're very welcome.

The events take place on the second Sunday of the month, either check our calendar or follow us on Facebook for reminders of upcoming dates. You don't need anything to take part. Just turn up 10 minutes before the start and make yourself known to the event director (look for someone with a clipboard!).

The Goose Fair Gallop (GFG)
KADS are proud to present our established 10Km race, the Goose Fair Gallop! The race takes place each October on the flat and fast paths near to Kimberley.
​Please like the GFG on Facebook to be kept up to date, or hit the button below to learn more about the race.

Thank You!

Thanks for visiting, we hope to see you soon, from everyone at KADS!
