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

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.

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:

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.

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.
