Chico Striders Non-Profit Youth Running Club The Chico Striders club was founded following a pilot program launched by Fleet Feet in the summer of 2017.

We had 19 kids ranging in ages of 6 to 13 and we trained for the Summer Sizzler 5K. We built the Striders up to three to four mile runs while emphasizing good form running, nutrition, goal setting, with plenty of awesome running games along the way. We have a fantastic group of dedicated and energetic coaches. If you have a child who enjoys running please visit our Contact Us tab. We don’t want anyone to miss out on being a part of this awesome team.

The 2026 Beat the Coach Mile is in the books. Juan Lugo, Patrick Madson, Julie Plummer and Julia Baldwin took home the infamous Beat the Coach Mile “Hammer”—a trophy that represents putting in the work all summer and being ready to HAMMER the Cross Country season!

But the best part? This race is about more than beating a coach. It’s about watching our Striders grow, stick with the sport, and eventually become faster than the coaches who have been chasing them around all these years.

We get older. They get faster. And we LOVE being beaten! ❤️

And for the first time, a middle school athlete beat me. Congratulations to Patrick Madson, who ran 5:52 and beat me by three seconds!
