At the Mystic Turkey Trot, I had the opportunity (mid-trot) to speak to John Trahan, president of the Mohegan Striders. The Mohegan Striders are a running club based in Southeastern CT that offers social running, group track and road workouts, Club Grand Prix and USATF competition, and more. Their Tuesday training runs take place in East Lyme, and their Sunday training runs take place at Mohegan Park in Norwich.
The Striders are currently having their annual membership drive. To join the club, download the membership application here. A yearly membership costs $15.
Their next event is the Tommy Toy Fund Fun Run, a 1.5 mile fun run with Santa starting at Billy Wilson’s in Norwich. The event takes place Friday, December 4, at 7pm and collects toys for needy children for Christmas.
