The St Albans Striders membership year runs from April to March each year, concurrent with the England Athletics membership year.
As a member of Striders you have the opportunity to take part in various Track and Field events throughout the year in conjunction with our sister club St Albans AC.
To take part in track and field competitions, you need to have current England Athletics membership with St Albans Striders. If you don't have this, please complete the EA membership form on the Annual Membership page. As Striders are not licensed for track and field, you also need to be affiliated with St Albans AC. For most Striders this is done autmatically. You can check you EA profile and it should also show you as 'First Claim Other' for St Albans AC. If this is not the case please contact the membership secretary for assistance.
