Winter 5K
The annual Chautauqua Striders Winter 5k Series is a fun and freezing age-graded, five race series. Races start and finish at the Chautauqua Harbor Hotel. Age-grading levels the playing field for all runners by providing the runner with the percentage value of an ideal time for his or her age and gender. All five races follow the same scenic route by Chautauqua Lake.
Dan Feather Memorial 5K
The Dan Feather Memorial 5K is held annually in memory of Chautauqua Striders’ late co-founder and Jamestown Police Officer, Daniel Feather. The event raises money to support youth programming and the Dan Feather Memorial Scholarship. Funds raised also ensure that our athletic programs are affordable for all kids. The Dan Feather Memorial 5k is a part of our Runner of the Year Series.
