About the Striders

The Morris County Striders running club (USATF-NJ club #227) is located in Morris County, New Jersey. We welcome runners of all abilities.

Quote of the Week: The great advantage of our sport over all others is that we don't need a ball or a team or a field, or even, according to some, shoes. We just need to stand someplace, imagine ourselves in the center of a circle, pick one out of the 360 degrees available to us, and head thataway". - Peter Sagal
