Get your young runner(s) involved with the Tidewater Striders this spring through their New Energy Youth Running Team, offering complimentary coaching sessions across five Hampton Roads locations for ages 5-19 interested in improving their road racing, track, and cross-country skills. From March into early June, groups meet weekly for an hour at a time with experienced volunteer coaches, though a modest annual Tidewater Striders membership ($12-$18) becomes necessary by your third session if you want to participate in team competitions and the Youth Grand Prix series of 5K and 1-mile races (available for members 16 and under).
