The Striders host Fun Runs for our members and their guests throughout the year.   Calling all Runners and walkers - all paces are welcome.  Our Fun Runs are held at various parks and have no charge to attend and are not timed.  They are a fun way to get out and run with a group. There will usually be a three-ish mile route set out, but you’re welcome to run your own route too.    After the run join fellow members for drinks and snacks provided by the Strider.  

No need to sign up in advance - just show up!
