Support the Community Most importantly your membership dues allow the Striders to give back to the Greater Des Moines area in a variety of ways including college scholarships, supporting youth track clubs, we donate to Boys & Girls Club of Central IA, Iowa Kidstrong, Make-A-Wish Foundation of IA, Central Iowa Trails Assoc, and Parks & Rec. We are also proud to say that our members donate their time. We offer many opportunities to volunteer throughout the year. Join us ~ be a do-gooder.
Annual membership is a bargain at just $20 for an individual and $25 for a family. With $5 off our 4 races + many partner races the discounts outweigh the cost of membership. Add in all the merchant discounts and running/social opportunities; you can't afford NOT to join.
