🎉 Get Ready to Lace Up with the Saline County Striders! 🎉

We’re thrilled to announce our 5th Annual Run/Walk Clinic—back by popular demand and better than ever! Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned runner, this free 6-week training program is designed for EVERYONE, no matter your age or ability.

Starting March 30, 2026, you’ll embark on a fun-filled journey that will lead you to your graduation event—a lively clinic 5K also hosted by the Saline County Striders, on May 7, 2026.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

When? Clinic sessions kick off at 6:00 PM every Monday and Thursday at Bryant Junior High.

Bonus Sessions: Get extra miles in with our Strider group runs at 6:00 AM every Saturday. Locations will vary, but they’ll always be in the Saline County area.

Where to Stay Updated? Follow us on Facebook at Saline County Striders Walk / Run Clinic for the latest details and fun updates!

No matter your fitness level, we’ve got a group just for you:

Walker Group: Learn to walk up to 3 miles with intervals of slow and fast walking. Each week, you'll see your pace and endurance grow!

Beginning Runner Group A: Perfect for those who aren’t running yet but want to conquer that 5K.

Beginning Runner Group B: If you can run for 3 minutes or less at a time, this group will help you build up your stamina.

Intermediate Runner: Ready to run more consistently? We’ll help you build up to a solid 3-mile run.

Advanced Runner: Looking to up your speed and distance? This group is all about pushing your limits!

Join us at Bryant Junior High Track for our first session on Monday, March 30, 2026, at 6 PM. It’s going to be an amazing experience filled with camaraderie, motivation, and plenty of fun!

Have questions? Reach out to our Clinic Director at [email protected]. We can’t wait to see you there!

    NO RACE DAY REGISTRATION

    The Scorchin’ Squirrel is a trail race through Ferncliff Camp and Conference Center’s 1200 acres located just 10 miles west of Little Rock. There are 4 distance options: a 10kish (1 loop), 11.5 mile (2 loops), 15.5 mile (3 loops) or 19.5 mile (4 loops). All distances are approximate. Each loop passes through 1 full aid station and one water drop. There will be refreshments at the end with a cook out at the pool. Please bring stuff to share although Fleet Feet Little Rock and Ferncliff will provide burgers and hot dogs. We will begin serving food at 10 AM. No glass containers please. No pets.

    This is a great race for heat training and for trying out trail running with the shorter distances. There is quite a bit of incline (heheh) throughout the course and a few water crossings in wet weather.

    All the distances end back at the start of the race, which is at the Ferncliff pool pavilion. The pool will be open after the race. It has a large covered pavilion and runners can cool off and enjoy some food and refreshments. There are lots of changing stalls.

    Any proceeds from the event will support Ferncliff Camp and Conference Center. If you’d like to reserve lodging the evening before the event call 501-821-3063 to reserve a room or cabin.

    It takes about 25 volunteers to do this event right. Would you like to volunteer and have a great time supporting runners? If so please fill out this very brief volunteer application: https://forms.gle/s2kSoHaT8Ygvm58x8
