Saratoga Stryders

by Laura Clark

The Saratoga Stryders is a family-oriented club for those who enjoy running and socializing afterwards. Members meet Saturdays at the Warming Hut in the Saratoga Spa State Park for a group run followed by conversation, coffee and donuts. Beginning April 9, runners also meet Wednesday evenings at the park’s Little Theatre Parking Lot for workouts coached by Jeff Lutzker. Everyone does the same workout, but at their own pace. You don’t have to be a member to give the club a try. Yearly membership dues are $10 for individual or $15 for family. The Stryders are involved with many local races in the Spa Park. They also organize a summer Monday night trail fun run series at Camp Saratoga in the Wilton Wildlife Preserve. Many Stryders enjoy other sports such as biking, swimming, snowshoeing, skiing and hiking and often get together informally for these activities. For more information, visit www.saratogastryders.org.
