Awards for 2005


Sydney Striders Annual Awards

Striders has two Awards Events for each year. The first is the traditional Brunch in December of each year where awards for that year that have been decided are made. The second is held in the second quarter of the following year for those awards that require consideration of performances across the entire year.

The club's annual Awards brunch in December 2005 is at Sydney Olympic Park Athletics Track.

The balance of the Annual Awards for 2005 were made at the mid year Pasta and Awards night in May 2006, just before the SMH Half. They are listed here.

Why the delay? The following awards are based on performances during the calendar year. Many Striders fail to mention their performances until they renew in late January. By the time renewals are processed, and the number collated it is March, and then a suitable night must be found that doesn't clash with holidays, Easter and various races. Hence, May - which also coincides with the availability of running related speakers in Sydney for the Half.


Congratulations to all those who received awards for their achievements during 2005.
