About Us

Be active, get fit and have doing it.
 
Why You Should Join
The purpose of the Riverbend Striders is to promote health & fitness through running and walking.  We serve the running/walking community by providing a year-round schedule of events, either through club managed races or by assisting area race directors for non-club managed events.  The Striders welcomes all area runners and walkers whether you are a beginner or a seasoned veteran.
