About

What are we about?

We're about community. We're about friends. We're about running: on the track, on the road, on the trails. We're about the young and the not-so-young.

We're based in Blessington. Our runners hail from all along the West Wicklow corridor - from Brittas, through Saggart and Blessington to Ballymore Eustace and beyond. From Kilbride, around the lakes to Lacken, Hollywood and Donard.

We believe running is more than just a sport; it’s a way to build confidence, discover new places, and forge lasting friendships. Our goal is to provide a welcoming digital space where everyone, regardless of their experience or goals, can find opportunities to grow and feel inspired.

Through this platform, we aim to make running more accessible and enjoyable for all. Beginners will find helpful resources, clear event information, and encouragement to take the first steps in their journey. 

Experienced runners can explore advanced training opportunities, connect with like-minded individuals, and participate in a variety of challenging events. 

Whether you run to compete, to stay healthy, or to enjoy nature, our website is designed to offer something meaningful to every member of our diverse community.

Beyond providing information, this website is a reflection of the Lakeshore Strider's spirit of inclusivity and enthusiasm. It serves as a hub to celebrate our members' achievements, promote shared goals, and strengthen connections both online and offline.
