Nike will be on-site with demo shoes, so come ready to test them out on your morning miles!   Program Overview: Summer Striding is a series of group runs designed to keep high school runners engaged, motivated, and moving throughout the off-season. Hosted by West Stride, this summer initiative helps student-athletes stay on track with their required summer miles while adding some fun to the routine as they prepare for the upcoming cross country season.  Why We Do It: West Stride created Summer Striding to support high school runners as they train through the summer months. The goal is to make those conditioning miles feel a little more enjoyable by offering a laid-back, low-pressure environment where athletes can stay consistent, explore new trails, and have fun along the way.  What to Expect: Participants can expect a mix of relaxed group runs, post-run snacks, and opportunities to connect with other runners in the area. It’s a chance to make training feel a bit more social and a lot more fun.  Who It's For: Summer Striding is open to all high school runners. Come for the miles, stay for the good vibes. Run Dates and Location: All runs start at 8:30 AM at the Powers Island Lot. July 17th Final Summer Stride: Take me out to the ball games… or maybe the final West Stride group run of the summer!

Food & Drinks: Clif Bars, bananas, grapes, and hydration station, Big League Chews.  Demo shoes from Nike
