Welcome!

The Magic City Striders is a local runner’s group in Minot, North Dakota. There is no cost to be a member of the Striders…. it’s just a bunch of people who promote the sport of running/jogging.

We run all year long (through rain, sleet, snow, wind and sun)

Group Runs

Non-competitive group runs are held on a regular basis. The number of runners that show up for our group runs can vary from a couple people up to 10 or more.

We usually run from 4 to 6 miles during our weekly group runs. The pace varies. Many times runners partner up with someone close to their pace. Some members run sub-8 minute miles while others run over 10 minute miles. Other runners choose to run varying distances. There is something for everyone during our group runs.

Some members of the Striders are marathon runners, and they schedule training runs together during the week in addition to the group runs. The message board can be used to post such runs at anytime.

Striders members also volunteer to help with many local road races throughout the year. The group contributes to the Minot Youth Cross Country programs and the MSU Cross Country/Track and Field program
