Formed in January 1985 by Anne Sweeney and Bob Todd (yes, Sweeney & Todd) as 'Goole Joggers and Runners Club' but soon changed to 'Goole Viking Striders', a name invented by Paul Peacock. The then Chairman John O'Neil, chose the club colours of gold/white/royal blue. A regular magazine was issued in those days called 'Striding Out', quite a task on a typewriter. If anyone wishes to see some of these have a word with Angela Dryden who has kept some of the originals.

Today we have about 70 members and have a healthy social side which is as much a part of the club as the running itself. We regularly organise evening events at the Rugby Club which normally follow the training runs.
