The Morris County Striders running club (USATF-NJ club #227) is located in Morris County, New Jersey. We welcome runners of all abilities. Some members run competitively in races from 400m to Marathons, while others just love to run without racing. Click here for more history and information about our club. To find out if our club is right for you, come join us for a run and meet our members. Below is our current schedule for group runs and track workouts.

Quotes of the Week:

"When you hit a rough patch, try to imagine yourself as an Olympic athlete who's headed towards the finish line. Envision your running form as smooth, graceful, and relaxed. Think of a runner who you really admire and imagine yourself running just like him". - Christine Luff,

"The 10K race is a metaphor for living a good life. No matter what you do in life, don't just be a spectator, be a player. Anyone can watch from the sidelines, but few participate in the race. Choose to become the hero that you want to be". - Mark Collis
