Established in 1975, the Wyoming Valley Striders (WVS) is the oldest continuously operating running club in Pennsylvania's Wyoming Valley. The WVS is a registered 501(C)(3) non-profit..

The club puts on six races a year: a *Winter's End 4.5 Mile Run in March, a *Cherry Blossom 5 Mile Run in May, two age graded trail runs, one in the Spring and one in the Fall, a 5.3 and 5.5 miles respectively, and a *20K race in November. (*Denotes races in the Vince Wojnar Triple Crown.) Marking the start of the high school cross country season, our annual Cliff Robbins Sr. Memorial Invitational takes place each year on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend.
