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.

We had a fun Predictive Run this morning – everyone predicts their time to finish a particular route, runs that route (more or less, since map interpretations vary), and the winner is the runner with the smallest delta. This year, Timmy nabbed our last bottle of R&W with 0:26 off his estimate.

After running, we enjoyed a potluck in the shade in Villa Maria, and there were lots of good plates to choose from.

It's a fun tradition, and it's been around since before I joined the club. Some folks end up on trails that they've never run before, too, because we start at a little bit of a different spot than our usual runs.

Wherever you're running, happy trails!
