About Annapolis Striders
Running Annapolis Since 1978
The Annapolis Striders is a nonprofit running club dedicated to promoting physical fitness, mental well-being, and a lifelong love of running throughout the Annapolis, Maryland area.
Founded in 1978, the Striders bring together runners of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Whether you’re preparing for your first 5K, chasing a new personal best, training for a marathon, or simply looking for people to run with, there’s a place for you in our running community.
Run With Us
You don’t have to be fast or experienced to be a Strider. Our community includes recreational runners, walkers, competitive racers, beginners, and longtime athletes.
Throughout the year, Annapolis Striders offers group runs, training programs, races, and other running events designed to help members stay active, reach their goals, and enjoy running with others.
Our training programs range from beginner-focused programs through longer-distance training, while our group runs provide opportunities to meet other local runners and put in some miles together.
Our Races
Annapolis Striders has a long tradition of organizing races throughout the Annapolis area, with distances and events for runners of many different abilities.
Our race calendar includes everything from shorter road and cross-country events to trail races, longer-distance races, and the club’s signature Annapolis 10 Mile Run.
Members can also participate in the Championship Series, which brings together a selection of Striders races throughout the year and rewards consistent participation and performance.
More Than Running
Annapolis Striders is more than a race organizer. We’re a community of runners who share a common interest in staying active, supporting one another, and promoting running throughout the greater Annapolis area.
The club relies on the time and dedication of its members and volunteers to organize races, support training programs, maintain club activities, and continue the traditions that have made Annapolis Striders part of the local running community for decades.
Whether you’re interested in racing, training, volunteering, or simply meeting other runners, we’d love to have you involved.
