The Premier Running Club in Howard County!
The Howard County Striders are an incorporated non-profit organization dedicated to promoting lifetime fitness through running, based in central Maryland.
We sponsor or support many types of activities, including high quality race events, group runs, low-key weekly races, and a robust complement of training programs for both adults and youth, from beginners on up, to support continued active lifestyles in the community.
The Howard County Striders are a part of the RRCA Runner-Friendly Community of Columbia and Howard County!
