The Houston Striders, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is a metro-wide running club with over 350 members. The club was incorporated on March 3rd, 1985 by Jerry Aucoin, Lynn Williams and Glenda Richards. Our mission is to support the fitness and training goals of runners and walkers at all levels, while providing resources, education, networking and fellowship through a variety of program, events and volunteering opportunities. We are member of the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA), Houston Area Road Runners Association (HARRA) and USA Track & Field (USATF). We range from walkers to Boston-qualified marathoners, from veteran ultra-marathoners to world record holders. While we are dead serious about running and fitness, we always emphasize fun, camaraderie, and service. We also proudly present the Houston Half & 10K every October.
