Description

The Houston Striders are a city-wide running club with over 400 members ranging from walkers to Boston-qualified marathoners and veteran ultramarathoners. Our membership is split between singles/families and males/females. While we are very serious about running and fitness, we are a low key club that always emphasizes fun, service and fellowship over competition.

Striders Run-The Houston Striders are active in both road races in the metro Houston area and at our favorite out-of-town races. Each quarter the membership votes on a race in which we the entry is subsidized by the club. Wow! We also have a wide variety of training and novelty runs such as the Tour de Hershey, an 18 mile November romp through Terry Hershey Park.

Striders Volunteer-Our lifeblood is the Koala/Luke's Houston Half Marathon, the first race in the Houston Marathon Warm-Up Series. We provide all race management and scores of volunteers. We also manage the water station at mile 21.5 of the Chevron Houston Marathon. We are also very active HARRA members and volunteers. We run our own inhouse Marathon and half marathon training program, free to members, and a shorter speed program in the Spring.

Striders Play-We have lots of fun in non-running settings including our Spring chili cookoff, Summer picnic, and Winter formal banquet.

Striders Keep in Touch-We have a monthly newsletter which is a 3 time national award winner, Stride4Fun for informal communications and a web site www.houstonstriders.org for general information. Formal meetings have free meals and guest speakers. Informal meetings have a club fun run followed by food and fellowship.

Please come join us! Annual membership is $20 for singles, $25 for families. For further info call our hotline at (713) 797-8601 or email at stride4fun@houstonstriders.org.
