    WHAT IS FIRST STRIDES?

    The First Strides program was founded in 1997 in Allentown, PA by Jane Serues. It still continues there today with over 8000 women participating. First Strides was conceived as a way to get women off the couch and doing a walking routine they could do for the rest of their life. In 2001, First Strides was recognized with a national award by Road Runners Club of America and has the highest graduation rate of any beginner program.

    In 2019, Jane introduced the program in North Myrtle Beach, co-presented by the Grand Strand Running Club and the City of North Myrtle Beach. The Fall 2019 First Strides NMB workshop attracted over 170 females. Since then, workshops have been held Spring and Fall. First Strides NMB is here to stay thanks to the support of our sponsors, especially the Grand Strand Running Club, and our wonderful volunteer mentors!
