Membership changes for 2025
Increasing costs have led us to the difficult decision to increase our membership fees for the first time since 2015. Our new fee structure is:
- Family Membership: $35
- Individual Membership: $25
- Student Membership: $15
We have also changed from a calendar year membership to a 12 month membership period that starts the month you join. You also have the option to auto-renew, so you won't have to remember when you joined.
Membership Campaign
If you join or renew your membership by January 10, 2025, you will be eligible for a "2025 Members Only" drawing at the Awards Banquet. The prize will be a free race entry to any one of the Waco Striders hosted races in 2025 to two lucky winners. You do not have to be present at the banquet to win.
