About Us

We are a 34 year old nonprofit running club that is dedicated to promoting running as a sport and fitness exercise in the lewis-clark valley. We provide opportunities to run, companionship, and encouragement for experienced and non-experienced runners. The club consists of people of all running abilities:  the casual jogger to the serious marathoner.  We also welcome walkers to join us for our weekly runs/walks and our club sponsored running events.  Click here to view some of our photos. 

 

A note about sending pictures – If you send pictures, please send a select few and format them for medium email.  Please do not send pictures with a link to Windows Live or Facebook if you want them to be posted on this site. The process to download them is too cumbersome.

Time for our first big event of the year!  The Edge of Hell will be run on February 19, 10:00 a.m. at Hell's Gate State Park in Lewiston, Idaho.  The run starts at the Jack O'Connor Art Museum.   Also, Hell's Gate Park charges $4.00 per car for parking, OR, you could park at the marina parking lot for FREE and enjoy a half mile walk to the museum.

 

Your choice of either running the regular 4-mile event OR doubling your fun by running the "2-Looper", by turning around near the finish and running in the opposite direction, 8 miles total!  As you can see, there are great views from the top of Charlie's Peak!  We are still offering $20 reward to the person who can break the record of the 4-mile and 2-Loop event.  The current record holders are Anton Sousa:  23:08, Wayne Bunce: 47:46  and  Jane Hewett:  27:27 – 56:25.

 

Pre-registered entry fee is $17 with a T-shirt, or pay $7 for the fun run on day of race   If you are a Seaport Striders club member, reduce that amount by $2.  Remember, club membership is not necessary for your participation, WE WANT YOU THERE!!!!!  The run will be followed with a pizza social at Fazzaris on Bridge street in Clarkston.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s never too early to plan for the St. Patrick’s Day Run coming up on Saturday March 17 at 10 a.m.  This event will be chip timed, so register early.  There will be random drawings for prizes and special prizes for the kids.  Pre-register before March 7 to guarantee a long sleeve shirt.  Come on out and have a fun time.

 

 

Close to 40 runners/walkers showed up for the Striders annual New Years Day Hangover Run .  Other than a stiff wind from the East, the temperature was in the low 40’s compared to last year’s 19 degrees.  The event was free and everyone had the satisfaction of starting off the new year on the right foot.  Later on in the afternoon, there was a brunch hosted by Al Coons with football on the tube!  Unfortunately, the Seahawks lost a close one.  In the meantime, stay in shape and have a good year. 

 

 

HO, HO, HO.  102 Santas, elves, reindeer, and an assortment of other Santa helpers showed up for a jolly fun Santa Run.  It was a wee bit on the cold side, but the 5k run/walk got folks into the holiday spirit. The hot apple cider was a big hit. There were plenty of smiles to go around and we had 7 winners for the best costumes.  Even some of the dogs were in costume and the kids in the strollers were not to be outdone.  Tim Gundy and many of the Asotin boys high school cross-country team (their times were fast) showed up as well as a fair number of participants from Nezperce, Colfax, Ellensburg, Troy, and other far reaching locals.  A big thank you goes to the volunteers for putting on this event and to all the participants who ran and walked. 

 

Saturday morning fun runs/walks

 

This is our weekly social run/walk along the Snake River Greenbelt Trail.  Our normal starting time is 8:00 a.m.  Meet at the Clarkston confluence parking lot at 100 Fair St. for a 3 to 5 mile run/walk.  We meet afterwards around 9:00 a.m. at the  Clarkston McDonalds for coffee and/or breakfast.  Enjoy the camaraderie and getting to meet new people who like to stay in shape.

        VACUOUS VELOCITY

            By Margaret K. Gates

 

I want to start a program to increase my energy,

Improve my strength and stamina, my health to guarantee,

To gain the admiration of the people watching me.

    I wonder what's a sport that I might play?

 

Could golf provide the means for me to exercise, excel?

My arms are awfully weak and I don't hit the ball too well.

Coordination hampers me; my game just doesn't jell.

    My ball will hook and slice and ricochet.

 

Perhaps I'll take up swimming since no ball obeys my will,

But often in the water I begin to take a chill,

And every time I need to breathe, I wish I had a gill.

    I choke on all the chlorine and the spray.

 

I know -- I'll take up running; it requires no skill or brain.

A healthy child can do it; runners e'en can be insane.

Through rain and pain they strain to gain control of steep terrain.

    I'll run and race and chase my cares away.
