About Us
We are a 32 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

Joe King finished first in 17:31 followed by Scott McMurtrey and Kage
Sobotta (only 14 years old) in the men’s division . Megan Vining was the first woman finisher
followed by JoAnn Cole-Hensen and Kasey Wolf.

George Topping was the oldest at 76.
The Seaport Striders wish to thank all the runners who participated and
to those who donated to this benefit run.
We look forward to seeing you next year for another benefit run to be
determined. So, if you have a good idea
for next year, let Lance know between now and
then.

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.
