Overview
Mesa Monument Striders has been the heart of the Grand Valley running community since 1978. Based in Grand Junction, Colorado, our members explore it all—from the high-altitude trails of the Grand Mesa to the streets, river paths, and red rock canyons of our backyard, and even across the high desert of Western Colorado and Utah.
Our club welcomes runners of all ages, abilities, and ambitions—whether you’re chasing PRs, jogging for fun, or running with your family. As a nonprofit and an affiliate of the Road Runners Club of America, we’re committed to promoting health, community, and the joy of running through organized runs, structured workouts, and races that bring our members together.
At Mesa Monument Striders, it’s not just about miles—it’s about friendships, motivation, and being part of a team that runs the Valley and beyond.
