The Striders provide expert advise from our experienced and USATF certified coaches (see our COACHES tab), a complete training program for the season, 3 coached runs per week including: TRACK workouts on Mondays, TEMPO runs on Wednesdays and LONG runs on Saturday with aid stations provided at all long runs. We provide running clinics on shoes, hydration, nutrition, proper running technique, and much more!
Beginner runners will be amazed at their progress before they are halfway through!
We love to have FUn, FUn, FUn. We’re BIG on social activities and get-togethers after runs and on weekends. Join us for our pasta parties at Buca di Beppos before most of our big races.
