Our Mission

Sandhills Striders seeks to promote running and create a vibrant running community in Moore County and surrounding areas.

We are a non-profit running club founded in March 2007 with assistance from the FirstHealth Center for Health & Fitness.  

From beginner runners/walkers to elite, competitive athletes, the club is open to individuals of all ages and abilities. Whether you are running for fun, friendship, fitness or finishing times, Sandhills Striders is a club for you. The club coordinates group runs, along with social, educational and service events. Volunteers are also being recruited to assist with club leadership, communications, events and activity coordination. Members are looking forward to meeting anyone interested in running and would love to hear ideas and suggestions for club development.
