Stevens Creek Striders
Welcome to the Stevens Creek Striders!
Founded in 1981, 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.

Yesterday started foggy, but we only needed to wait a little while for clear blue skies. Always a great group! And it's just three weeks until Quicksilver. Striders host the much in-demand Bull Run aid station. If you volunteer there, you're sure to see many fellow Striders running the 50k / 100k.

Perfect weather today. We were over 20 runners and hikers, and the long runs and short runs were split evenly at 9 apiece. It's great running out here with everyone!
Great group for our annual Predictive Run and picnic! Dave was only 3s off with his guess, which will be hard to beat in coming years, and four runners were within 1/2 minute.

We had another great run today and a good view from Maisie's peak! The trails are in great shape. Volunteers that we saw a few weeks ago did good work on Tony Look, building new steps in one of the trickier sections.
Also, in two weeks will be our Predictive Run and potluck picnic starting from Villa Maria – will it run up to Maisie's Peak? Who knows! That route will be a surprise.
