The Yokota Striders Running Club was started in 1981 and is a family oriented running group located on Yokota Air Base in Fussa City, Japan. Our group ranges from people trying to improve their PT test to ultra marathoners to triathletes and everywhere in between. The Yokota Striders travel and compete in races all over Japan allowing our members to experience what our host nation has to offer us as runners . The Yokota Striders also host two big races a year that allow the Japanese community to come onto base and run with us. The Frostbite Race has a half marathon, 5k and 2k kids race and is held in mid to late January. The Ekiden is a 4 x 5k relay race along with a 5k and 2k kids race that is held in Early June.

Please click on the links to learn more about these races and how to sign-up. Another important goal for the Yokota Striders is to promote running and fitness throughout the Yokota community. We do this through organizing weekly running groups, hosting running clinics, and supporting base events.

Our meetings are held on the second friday of each month at 6p.m. in the middle school cafe’. At the meeting we sign up for races, go over important information, and advertise our training groups.
