2025 Grand Prix Description
Welcome to the Saratoga Stryder’s Grand Prix for 2025!
The Grand Prix is designed to encourage more participation in club events through friendly competition, self-challenge, volunteer activities and support for local races and our running community.
You don't have to be the fastest to participate or win a prize at the end of the year.
The more you race and volunteer, the more points you can earn. Plus, you get to be in more Saratoga Stryder Club photos!
