Striders at Rutland Water

Routes

During the darker months, (September to April), our main club run on a Wednesday is focussed on the lit streets around Melton. Generally, we rotate between the following routes, although we are always open to ideas! Don’t forget your high vis! Speak to Michael at Melton Sports about high vis Strider tops 🙂

All routes have a 5(ish) mile loop, together with extensions shown on the longer route map – click on the picture to see a map and route description, or click on the links to see an interactive map, GPS data, etc on Strava for either the 5 mile or longer option.

During the summer months (and occasionally using head torches in the dark…) we base our runs from one of the village pubs in the surrounding area.  Whilst each run tends to take on a different route, a selection of our tried and tested routes are below (and see the summer outruns page for all of this year’s routes):
