What we’re about
Founded in 1981, the Stevens Creek Striders are an all-ages social trail running group in Cupertino, CA. Every Saturday morning at 8:30, you will find us at the Stevens Creek County Park reservoir parking lot (maps.app.goo.gl/LK2z7qvRoTq86Ao18) (Cupertino, CA). We are eager to spend the morning sharing the trails and each other’s company, often followed by brunch nearby.
Runners (and hikers) of all backgrounds and abilities are welcome every Saturday or at any other time, whether you are new to trails or eyeing your next 100-miler. Please do not worry if you think you’re slow – we will naturally spread out during the run but also regroup regularly. No one is left behind, and no one will mind having more time to chat; we are here because we want to spend this time together.
Much more information can be found at our website: https://stevenscreekstriders.com and on out Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/stevenscreekstriders
Beyond our Saturday gatherings, we organize runs in other parks throughout the year, manage aid stations at several prominent races, and host our own race in September. The end of year has been capped off with a yearly celebration, the Annual Striders Party. We hope to see you on the trails with us!
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Start the weekend with a great trail run above Cupertino!Dam parking lot, Cupertino, CA
No RSVP necessary, all are welcome! Every Saturday we meet at the dam parking lot along Stevens Canyon Road. There is available free parking adjacent to the paid parking at the Dam. (Just park along the road UNLESS THERE ARE SIGNS DISALLOWING IT. ). See map (maps.app.goo.gl/LK2z7qvRoTq86Ao18). Or you can pay for parking at the machine near the entrance.
We run (jog or walk) about 6 to 8 miles, while there are always some runners that extend to 10+ miles. We typically split into 2 or 3 groups based on how fast and long people want to go. There is a group for every speed and distance. We never leave anyone alone on the trail and always wait for slower runners. There almost consistently are a dozen or more of us running each Saturday (rain or shine). Almost nobody actually signs up via Meetup, so don't be discouraged if you see only a couple signed up (our hosts). If the meetup ever gets cancelled then we will remove this invite. Come and join us any Saturday you like! There is no need to be a member to join for these runs, but of course we always welcome people who want to become members.
