Sunday Strides : Howard County Striders
Sunday Strides (formerly "weekly series") are recurring community races held at various locations across Howard County during spring, fall, and winter. Separate races are offered at multiple distances, and each seasonal series concludes with awards based on accumulated points.
Races take place on open roads and pathways. Course markings are provided, but participants are responsible for following the course; there may be few or no course marshals. Water is provided on longer courses. No bathroom facilities are available. For safety reasons strollers, dogs, and headphones are not allowed at events.
Registration is handled on race day only and is cash only, exact change required. The published fees are: Individual HCS member $1 and non-member $3; Family HCS member $2 and non-member $5. Participants are asked to arrive no more than 30 minutes before the race to register.
Runners earn points in each race toward series awards. Points per race range from a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 22; volunteers earn points as well. Series awards are presented for long-distance and short-distance categories based on accumulated points and a minimum-points qualification formula.
Course maps and start locations vary by event and include elementary schools, middle schools, parks, and local trailheads around Howard County. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
