The mission of the Juniata Valley Striders running club is to promote and encourage distance running as a sport and healthy exercise for all age groups within our community!
Striders Youth Programs
Strider Youth Track & Field
The Strider Youth Track and Field program introduces children and teens to a variety of running, jumping, and throwing events in a fun and supportive environment. Athletes compete in age-appropriate divisions and develop fundamental athletic skills, sportsmanship, and teamwork.
Strider Youth Cross Country
The Strider Youth Cross Country program is designed to help youth discover their potential, learn valuable life skills, and create lasting friendships by practicing and competing with teammates. The Cross Country program differs from Track & Field with runs through nature, fields, forests, and hills instead of on the track
