A missing element for distance runners in the East Bay Area was a serious, sociable, and centralized co-ed road and track racing club which accommodated the competitive aspirations of experienced middle and long distance runners of all ages. So a core group of Cal graduate students, staff, recent Cal alumni and undergraduates, as well as runners from assorted East Bay racing clubs and backgrounds and their coach, coalesced with the Pacific Striders to form the Strawberry Canyon Track Club (PAUSATF team #384) in the summer of 2009 and it has since taken on a life of its own.

The Strawberry Canyon Track Club is now a spirited group which welcomes newcomers to workouts held Mondays and Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. at the University of California's Edwards Stadium track facility (meet at the bronze Maxwells Statue). After warm-up, intervals begin at 6:00 sharp. We recommend that you arrive at the track on Mondays and Thursdays (or begin your warm-up routine) at roughly 5:30 p.m.

On weekends, Saturday morning long runs typically occur between 8:30-9:00 a.m. and rotate among several East Bay and Bay Area locations. Members also meet informally during the week for recovery runs and cross-training activities.
