Housing and Support:
For those running more than one day, housing will be provided at Hope College in
Holland. The dormitory housing enables us to stay together as a group, contributing to
the camaraderie and "family" atmosphere for which " Strides" is known.
The support team is composed of volunteers who in general do their best to take
care of the runners' needs. If you can't run, consider enjoying the experience as a member
of the support team! Occasionally, the support team includes a cancer survivor, helping
us out as a means of "giving back."
A certified athletic trainer will be on duty the entire four days to ensure that any physical
problem, whether it is a blister or something more serious, is properly evaluated and treated.
