Stevens Creek Striders

Directions Website

Stevens Creek Striders Stevens Creek Striders is a social trail-running club. We welcome all who are interested to join us on the trails!

We meet every Saturday at 8:30am at the Stevens Creek County Park reservoir parking lot (maps.app.goo.gl/LK2z7qvRoTq86Ao18) (Cupertino, CA). The Stevens Creek Striders are an all-ages social trail running group in Cupertino, CA. Every Saturday morning at 8:30, you will find us at the Stevens Creek Reservoir parking lot, eager to spend the morning sharing the trails and each other’s company, often followed by brunch nearby. Beyond our Saturday gatherings, we organize runs in other parks throughout the year, manage aid stations at several prominent races, and host our own race in September. Runners (and hikers) of all backgrounds and abilities are welcome, whether you are new to trails or eyeing your next 100-miler. Please do not worry if you think you’re slow – we will naturally spread out during the run but also regroup regularly. No one is left behind, and no one will mind having more time to chat; we are here because we want to spend this time together. The club started running in 1981, near our current location, and we’ve been meeting at the Reservoir since the 90’s. Since 1982, the club has managed the Last Chance Aid Station at Western States, where we are the longest-serving club. In the mid-80’s, Hobee’s Restaurant on Stevens Creek Blvd opened. The Striders were some of its first and most loyal patrons, and – until the restaurant’s closing in 2020 – there was always reserved seating for our Saturday morning brunch, where club photos adorned the walls. Now, our Saturday brunches are at Holder’s, and we hope to dine there for many more years. The club’s focus is on community over direct competition, but that nurturing community does often lead its members to achieve the incredible. In 1995, Strider Mark Williams was the first person to complete the Barkley Marathons. In 2023, Mandie Holmes represented the United States at the 24-Hour World Championships. Out on the trails, enthusiasm is contagious, friends help each other, and runners end up excelling in races that they might never have thought possible. The Striders are a sister club to Quicksilver Running Club, with some overlapping memberships, and we also help each other out at various events.

The trails were quieter, the week after our race. We were back to enjoy them as we always do. Everyone ran up to the Inspiration Point, before splitting into the longer and shorter runs.

Happy trails!
