                                            Welcome to the Tidewater Striders Distance Series 2026!

Prepare for an unforgettable experience with our 3-race challenge bundle, offering a unique opportunity to test your limits across three diverse distances. This year, we're introducing some exciting changes, including different distances for Distance Series 1 & 3, making the event even more appealing to runners of all levels. Sign up for any of the three challenges and not only will you be taking part in a fantastic running experience, but you'll also receive a special commemorative medal as a reward for your dedication! Remember, to claim your medal, you must successfully complete all three events within each chosen challenge.

 For those seeking a challenging yet achievable goal, we present the 10K Challenge. Please note that these distances are not part of the Striders Grand Prix. To participate, you will Run/Walk a 5K for Distance Series 1 at the scenic Dismal Canal Trail. Then, gear up for Distance Series 2 at Fort Monroe with a Run/Walk of 5 Miles. Finally, complete the 10K for Distance Series 3 at the Dismal Canal Trail.

For runners aiming for a slightly longer distance, the Half Marathon Challenge is designed for you! Distance Series 2 and 3 are part of the Striders Grand Prix. To participate in this challenge, you will Run/Walk a 10K for Distance Series 1 at the beautiful Dismal Canal Trail.

Exciting news! We’ve heard many of our DS race participants inquire as to whether we’ll offer a lightweight jacket as a premium ever again. We listened and were thrilled to offer one for this year's premium for only $25.00. You can purchase one during the registration process. We hope you like it as much as we do….
