Welcome to Merrimack Valley Striders


Merrimack Valley Striders was founded in 1979 with the mission to encourage and enhance running at all levels. 


Every member of MVS is respected as an athlete: whether young or old, capable of winning races or further back in the pack, seasoned marathoner, or a member who is simply seeking to improve his or her health.


Though we were founded in the Merrimack Valley of Massachusetts -- north of Boston, south of New Hampshire – we have grown and our reach touches runners as far away as Florida and California.
