Health and Wellness Night!
The always popular Health and Wellness Night is a time when local vendors come to the track, giving members an opportunity to check out their businesses and maybe even pick up some free swag. Come join us in August (date TBD). This is a FREE event open to all club members, whether you are running track or just hanging out! We’ll have a special treat for all participants and Lori will be teaching yoga after track.
Vendors will set up near the track and you’ll be able to visit their tables before, during and after, the track workout. Each Strider will be given a BINGO card and will be encouraged to visit every vendor to collect stickers that they can turn in for raffle tickets. We’ll hold a raffle drawing at the end of the event!
Some of the local businesses who have attended in the past include:
Natural Medicine of NH (fellow GCSer – Lisa Klasman)

Candlelight Relay/Bell Lap Celebration!
Join the Gate City Striders for the last summer track workout of the season. What makes this special? Runners are divided into random teams where each runner will run a 400 meter lap as part of a relay. It will be dark before the workout is done, but don't worry. We have candles around the inner edge of the track so you can see.
Relay will start at 6PM and join us after the relay is complete for pizza, beverages, and treats and to celebrate with fellow GCSers.
