2025 Grand Prix Description Welcome to the Saratoga Stryder’s Grand Prix for 2025! The Grand Prix is designed to encourage more participation in club events through friendly competition, self-challenge, volunteer activities and support for local races and our running community. You don&#39;t have to be the fastest to participate or win a prize at the end of the year.   The more you race and volunteer, the more points you can earn.  Plus, you get to be in more Saratoga Stryder Club photos!
