Our core value is to create a welcoming space where kids are introduced to the sport of running and can grow within it. We take pride in growing the sport by first growing a love for running. At Striders, enjoyment and personal growth come before competition, winning, or race times.We focus on teaching kids the fundamentals of becoming strong, healthy athletes—both physically and mentally. We strive to be a place where any child who loves running can thrive, regardless of talent level or financial background.The Striders program is built around four fundamental areas of education and development:

 

• Physical

• Mental

• Teamwork

• Nutrition & Health

 

Each pillar plays an important role in a child’s academic, athletic, and personal development, helping them grow not just as runners, but as people.
