Annapolis Striders Group Runs
Are you looking for a group run to join on a regular basis, but you aren’t sure where to start? You are not alone! That’s one of the most frequently asked questions by newcomers and long-time Annapolis residents alike.
The Annapolis Striders are looking for a leader to organize a low-key weekly running event. It could be a long distance weekend run, a short distance mid-week evening run, or maybe
resurrect the 6-0-6 running group that used to meet daily at 6:06am on Dock Street. The possibilities are limitless, but we need someone to lead the event. Please contact casey@annapolisstriders.org to volunteer.
Once we have a lead volunteer, check future E-Streak announcements for the sign up form to join the fun!
