Join the Howard County Striders for one of their prestigious training programs!

10K Goal Race will be the Columbia Classic 10K race on the first Sunday in October

The Next Step Building to 10K Program is for runners of varying abilities. Participants will do a 2 mile time trial July 23 at Longfellow Elementary at 6pm so coordinators can group participants with those of similar abilities. Weekly training runs will involve a variety of running techniques including speed work and hill work to improve running performance. All runners should be able to run 3 miles before starting the program.

Parking may be limited due to the holiday, so we strongly encourage participants to arrive early to allow enough time for parking and check-in.

Why join us?

MedStar Health's 22nd Annual CHS XC Turkey Trot is a time honored Catonsville tradition. A fun celebration of health, wellness, and family with a rich sense of community, our cross country style 1 mile family fun run (8:10am) and 5k (8:30am) offers something for everyone. Both races are chip timed. Due to the nature of our course, strollers and pets are not allowed in either race.

Our race is unique in that 100% of our proceeds go to the CHS Cross Country program, including the purchase of uniforms, training tools, and travel expenses, and the philanthropy causes we support. When you participate in our race you are also giving back to your local community. For a complete list of donations made, please visit www.CatonsvilleTurkeyTrot.com.

A prediction run is entirely different from other races that you’ve run in the past. Rather than finishing first or running the fastest, the object of a prediction run is to finish as close to a certain time as possible. In the case of the Howard County Striders prediction runs, the goal is to finish as close to 11:00am as possible. One way the Striders prediction runs differ from many other runs is that you get to start whenever you want – whoever finishes closest to 11:00am wins. Oh, and one important thing, you CANNOT use any sort of timing device. Also, no baby strollers, iPods, headphones or animals.

All proceeds from this event will be donated to the Tripp Scholar Athlete Fund.

The run is located at the Jeffers Hill Neighborhood Center, 6031 Tamar Drive, Columbia, MD 21045
