Entering races with friends is one of the benefits of membership in the Buckeye Striders!

Benefits of Buckeye Strider Membership

• Meet a fun group of people who walk regularly together for fitness and competition.

• Incentive -- It is easier to walk every week when you know a group of friends is waiting for you.
• Training Partners -- Train for the Cap City Half Marathon or Columbus Marathon with a group of experienced walkers, just like you -- not with a running club.
• Good Value -- Membership dues are much less than marathon training groups and are good for an entire year, not just one race.
• Discounts -- Membership provides discounts at running stores in the Central Ohio area, including FrontRunner, Fleet Feet and the Columbus Running Company.
• Great Shirt -- When you join, you will receive a great technical shirt.
• Camaraderie -- Breakfast with friends after every Saturday morning walk.
• Borrow fitness books and videos from our extensive library.
• Race Walk -- If you want to, you can learn to race walk.
• Travel -- Several of us travel together to races outside of Central Ohio.
• Our members have entered a variety of races across the country including the Flying Pig, Indy Mini Marathon, Big Sur, Country Music, Detroit Marathon, Rock 'n Roll Races across the country, and more....
