WHO WE ARE

Cascade Striders is a volunteer run organization that provides young athletes (ages 5-18) with an opportunity to develop and build confidence in their running skills while training and competing with other athletes of similar ages and abilities in a supportive and fun environment.

We pursue that goal with the philosophy of holding the emotional and physical well being of the athletes ahead of all other considerations and providing a rewarding experience no matter what level of running skill or background.

We have coached athletes who later went on to become State champions, All-Americans, and even NCAA champions. But we are most proud of the huge number of athletes who have gone on to be lifelong runners, and who continue to push themselves to find their best in all that they do.

Our Team Values:

• Be healthy: whether facing injury, illness, or anything else detrimental, achieve good health first.
• Be coachable: trust in the guidance of your coaches to get the best outcomes.
• Be a great teammate: know that you cannot be your best without the support of your teammates.
• Be your best: How you place does not matter compared to how well you push yourself.
