Description
The Chautauqua Striders Athletic Club is a running and walking club organized through Chautauqua Striders. Chautauqua Striders began life as Chadakoin Valley Athletic Club in 1979. As Striders has grown over the last 40 years, and added academic, mentoring, and social emotional programs to their athletic services, it was renamed Chautauqua Striders and the Athletic Club was created.
Striders operates a number of running events throughout the year, notably the Winter 5K Series, and Runner of the Year Series (sponsored by KeyBank). Two races featured in the Runner of the Year Series (St. Pat's Dash, Daniel Feather Memorial 5K.) are managed by Striders.
All ages are welcome to join for organized runs and races, or volunteer at races as a course steward. Members get discounts for the Winter 5K Series, the majority of Runner of the Year Series Races, along with other incentives (defined below).
Chautauqua Striders is an organization whose mission is dedicated to the mentoring and guidance
of youth through education, advocacy and athletics.
