Why should you become a Strider member? The benefits are many and include:

Bimonthly Newsletter
The Strider News includes club news, race coverage, wellness information, and feature articles. It is published in February, April, June, August, October, and December.

Race Entry Discounts
Strider members enjoy reduced race entry fees at many local races: St. Patrick's Day Run, Loop the Lake, Capital Pursuit, and the Living History Farms Run.

Merchant Discounts
Capital Strider members receive discounts at fine area merchants, including Fitness Sports, Byron's Best Massage, Great Harvest Bakery, and more.

Club Events
The New Year's Day Run and Potluck, Summer Picnic, Annual Meeting and Banquet, the Marathon Social, and other special events are just some of the activities sponsored by the Club.

Group Training Runs
Training groups - almost every day of the week - are available to all members. Meet new friends, socialize, AND get your miles in.

Support the Community
Your membership dues allow the Striders to give back to the Greater Des Moines area in a variety of ways including college scholarships, supporting area youth track clubs, Living History Farms, and much more.

Annual membership is a bargain at just $20 for an individual and $25 for a family. With the membership discounts and all the running/social opportunities, you can't afford NOT to join.

Consider becoming a sustaining member of Capital Striders for just $25 (or more) over your membership fee. Sustaining members will be recognized in Strider News and the donation (in excess of the dues) is tax-deductible. In fact, check with your employer to see if they will match your contribution to Capital Striders – a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization.
