MEMBERSHIP Renewals are due September 1 for athletes planning to participate in 2022!
New Memberships are being accepted and active Capital City Striders please renew your membership before September 1. Please encourage your friends join and submit their dues for the 2021-2022 season. Membership includes AAU membership (September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2022) and USATF Membership (September 1, 2021 through December 31, 2022). Fall Cross Country Practice will begin in October, and dates and locations will be posted before then. All Striders are welcome to practice and work out with the Cross Country practices, even if they normally only do shorter distances or field events. Indoor track and field practice normally starts in December on Saturdays. Our CCS Fiscal Year is the same as that for AAU: September 1 through August 31 of the following year. The USATF fiscal year is January 1 through December 31, so your 2021-2022 Membership dues ($100 per athlete) includes AAU membership for our fiscal year but an extended USATF membership.
