The club for runners in Saratoga Springs, NY
2020 Saratoga Stryders Grand Prix Series
Welcome to the Saratoga Stryders Grand Prix series! This series encourages Saratoga Stryders members to engage in fun, friendly, and inclusive competition; become more involved in volunteer activities; and actively participate in enticing non-members to join the club. Oh, and you may also win some cool awards in the process!
If you have never competed in a race – or are new to running in general – the Stryders Grand Prix (GP) may be just the thing for you! Friendly competition is a great way to stay active and meet new people – and can be addicting! You might just find yourself joining the men’s or women’s Stryder racing teams…
