The Feet First/Striders racing team is a joint venture between Feet First Sports and the Howard County Striders. Founded in the summer of 2006, the purpose of the racing team is to provide an avenue to assemble and recognize highly talented and competitive members of the Howard County Striders.

      As a member of the racing team, individuals receive a purple racing team jersey and jacket, which they are strongly encouraged to wear in all races they participate in. In addition, team members receive discounts on running shoes purchased through Feet First Sports as well as subsidized entries to local races (i.e., Damien’s Run for Recovery, Clyde’s 10K, Metric Marathon) and occasional team competitions (i.e., Baltimore Marathon Relay).

        The Team

      Originally consisting of 12 members, the racing team has grown considerably over the past few years. Below is our current list of members. Click on the links below to learn more about each of them.
