Consortia Championship Community 5k
Saturday, October 14, 2023
The Consortia Championship held at Northwood High School is an annual event featuring races for high schoolers, middle schoolers, and elementary schoolers as well. It is a great chance to race a true cross-country course, featuring grass, trails, and a stream crossing, culminating with a finish on our school’s track. The day of races starts with an Open 5k, where community members can enjoy our unique course and relive the beauty of cross-country racing, then stick around to see some of the top teams in the county compete to take home the Consortia Cup.

Greasy-Gooney 10K

Although taking place roughly two hours west of Annapolis, this scenic race through the Blue Ridge foothills is offering a secret $2 entry fee discount for Annapolis Striders members thanks to race director & Striders member Karsten Brown. No coupon code needed; just preregister online using the RunSignup account associated with your Striders membership, and the discount will apply automatically! Karsten adds that this dinky little race is probably not worth the drive, but he thought he’d invite his fellow Striders nevertheless.
