Non-Profit Youth Running Club The Chico Striders club was founded following a pilot program launched by Fleet Feet in the summer of 2017.
We had 19 kids ranging in ages of 6 to 13 and we trained for the Summer Sizzler 5K. We built the Striders up to three to four mile runs while emphasizing good form running, nutrition, goal setting, with plenty of awesome running games along the way. We have a fantastic group of dedicated and energetic coaches. If you have a child who enjoys running please visit our Contact Us tab. We don’t want anyone to miss out on being a part of this awesome team.
