About

Join us for the Winter Solstice Strider, a 10km or 5km head torch early evening run through the St Ives estate in Bingley on the shortest day of the year, to raise vital funds for Sue Ryder.

The run starts at the STRI in Bingley, and winds through the woods (and fittingly past Druids Altar) within the St Ives Estate.

As usual with our solstice events, all participants will receive a fantastic bespoke medal this year. The event is sponsored by Warters & Co, and supported by our hosts at the STRI and the St Ives Golf Club, who provide a large proportion of the free parking that is provided for participants. 

Whilst we anticipate that most participants will come to the St Ives Estate to take part, virtual entry (where participants run a 10km or 5km route of their own choice on the shortest day) is also available.

Virtual runners are sent their bespoke medal in advance to wear with pride after their own strider.
