With Sunday's Metric Marathon completed (a few more photos of which are shared here), there are just two races left in our 2026 Championship Series! Visit AnnapolisStriders.org/curren… for updated standings, courtesy of series coordinator Dan Mandeville.
We're bananas for these photos shared by longtime volunteer Donna Harten from her Metric Marathon water stop on Sunday! Our club exists thanks to folks like these. There's no better way to give back to the running community than by volunteering at a Striders event yourself! ❤️
A dreary & drizzly morning couldn't stop 158 runners from completing the 47th annual Annapolis Striders Metric Marathon this morning in Harwood! Noah Guerrero (1:37:52) & Brianna Newell (1:51:50) led the way around the 26.2-kilometer (16.28 mile) loop. Congrats to all! (1/4)
