Our youth programs are for kids ages 6 - 18 at all levels of runners. We have two seasons: Track & Field (includes field events) in the spring and Cross Country in the fall. All kids are also able to participate in our annual Gold Cup series. Coaches are all certified, and coach with a mission to help kids improve and fall in love with running. Donations help with the running of the program, cost to rent facilities and keeping it affordable to our members.

Jim Cox, a very active Calumet Region Striders member, was diagnosed with Leukemia in August 1993 and on October 15, 1993 succumbed to the disease at the age of 57 years. Jim’s family started a fund which CRS designated as a scholarship fund and is given to CRS members or their children when they enroll as college freshmen.

In Memory of Joe Mis
It is with great sadness, we announce the loss of our great friend, Joe Mis. Joe passed away on May 9, 2022 at age 91. Joe was a great friend and a mentor to so many in the running community. Whether you knew Joe from Friendship 5k, Langels/Rodney's Sports Bar or from the many AAU Indiana District meets, he was a wonderful giving man and he cared very passionately about youth sports and coaching.
All money donated through here will be given to the Junior Striders in Joe Mis' memory.
