Discounts at participating area businesses.
FREE Summer Series races. The Summer Series is a group of three runs that promote fun and camaraderie within the running/walking community.
Weekend long runs. There is always a group meeting on Saturday and Sunday morning for the weekly long runs. This is a great way to train for that upcoming marathon and not think about how far you’ve run. These group runs are at different levels and different distances. And everyone is welcome. (There is a rumor that some of these groups will head to breakfast afterwards to replenish the energy resources.)
Low annual dues, which will pay for itself when using your club discount at local business.
We offer college scholarships to Strider youth based on academic & athletic achievement and community & Strider involvement and service.
We offer camperships to youth members to financially assist their attending cross country or running camps over the summer.
