Strider Cup Races

Strider Cup Races are a one-of-a-kind experience where every kid feels like a champion. These official races are held across the U.S. and around the world, bringing families together to cheer on their little ones as they build confidence and sportsmanship in a high-energy, supportive environment.

In 2026, we’re bringing a whole new set of experiences to our races. Join us August 15 in the town of our World Headquarters, Rapid City, South Dakota, for the first Strider Cup Indoor Championship and our first ever Baby Cross race!

This is our premier international event, bringing together hundreds of riders from across the globe to compete for the title of Strider World Champion. It’s a high-energy, unforgettable experience for both participants and spectators.

This year’s race will be held where it all began — Sarasota, Florida! Join us to celebrate 15 years of Strider Cup World Championships and put your kiddo on the same track that Olympians will be racing on to qualify for LA28.

Designed for kids who love a challenge, this race combines running, striding, and pedaling (plus a live pit stop to add pedals with help from parents and guardians) in a fun, multi-discipline format.
