The Modern Era

🚀 The Modern Vanguard (2012–Present): History in the Making

Welcome to the living chapter of the Stroud & District AC archive. This section tracks our journey through the true digital age of running—from the explosion of smartphone tracking and Strava loops to modern training nights at Archway School and massive fields at the Stroud Half Marathon.

Because this era represents our active, day-to-day club life, this page is a living document that grows with every season we run.

📸 Help Us Build the Living Record!

History doesn't just happen in vintage brochures; we are making it every Tuesday and Thursday night. We are actively collecting recent milestones to build out this section.

We want your contributions for:

• Team Photography: Group shots from recent Cotswold Way Relays, cross-country fixtures, or club awards nights.

• Podium & PB Milestones: Records of county championship wins, massive marathon achievements, or unforgettable club trips.

• Member Stories: Shifting from the paper diaries of the past to the digital tracking of today—tell us your favorite modern club memories.

Got digital photos, race reports, or local press clippings from 2012 onward? Don't let them sit forgotten in your phone's camera roll or social media feeds. Contact a member of the committee today to get your miles permanently logged in The Vault!
