The She Strides Team
Hollie, Our Founder
I’m Hollie Thackway, founder of She Strides Run Club. I started She Strides in Spring 2024, after feeling a bit lost and lacking confidence post-baby. I messaged a few friends to see if they wanted to run, and about a dozen showed up. Word spread quickly, and before I knew it, 100 women were running with us every Tuesday!
Seeing how much joy and support this community brought inspired me to grow She Strides even further. We now run in 6 locations across the South East—and we’re continuing to add more—so even more women can enjoy running, chatting, and feeling empowered together.
Outside of She Strides, I’m a mum to my daughter Harper, love weightlifting, and spending time with friends. Myself and the team are committed to making sure everyone feels safe, supported, and welcome—we can’t wait to see you on the run!
Ellie, Admin Lead
Ellie has been part of She Strides since day one. She began her running journey with the club having never really enjoyed exercise, but quickly found her stride and has since gone on to pace at the Hampshire club and complete her first marathon.
Ellie has always supported the club behind the scenes (roped in by big sister Hollie!) and now brings that same dedication to her full-time role as She Strides Administrator. She looks after the day-to-day administration that keeps the club running smoothly and supports our growing community.
