About Us

We are a 35 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.

News & Events

 

OK – I was told we would see 35-50 entrants for the RUN FOR THE HILL OF IT – someone lied to me --- we had over 70 participants! Was it the weather? Was it the Striders’ reputation for hosting awesome run events? Was it the Crispy Cream Donuts? No matter what got you out there: A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL who helped make this year’s event a success, runners & volunteers alike. A special thanks to the Asotin HS Running Coach & Crew who came out to help. LET”S KEEP THIS VALLEY RUNNING!  Click here for this years results.

 

It’s time to get your team together for the 22nd annual Mt. Misery Mania Relay that takes place on Saturday, July 6 at 8 a.m.   This is a beautiful 57 mile traverse through the Umatilla National Forest starting in Asotin, WA.   The course climbs to an elevation of 6194 feet between Mt. Misery and Mt. Horrible, then descends to Grouse Flats and finishes in Troy, OR.   This year, the relay takes place on the same day that Troy celebrates their community Independence Day with a BBQ, parade, live music, and fireworks.  Enjoy a great post race meal provided by the Shilo Troy Resort while awards are handed out.  Everyone gets a medal regardless of finishing order.  Entry fees will be a’ la carte so click on the registration form for details or contact Doug Jacabson at (509)332-2219.  Get your registration in before June 26th so Doug can get an accurate head count for meals and to guarantee yourself a shirt.  Register on-line with

        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.
