From the Organizer
The Annapolis Ten Mile Run is a 10-mile foot race organized by the Annapolis Striders, Inc., a 1000 member, all volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Established in 1978 in Annapolis, Maryland, the club promotes physical fitness and mental well-being through distance running. The race is conducted according to the road racing guidelines of the Road Runners Club of America.
The race has been listed as one of the top ten 10-mile races in the country by Runner’s World Magazine. It is a beautiful run through historic Annapolis and over the Severn River. We celebrated our 50th annual running on August 24, 2025. A comprehensive history of the race, compiled by Club Historian Dan Symancyk, can be found here: https://www.annapolisstriders.org/the-history-of-the-annapolis-ten-mile-run-1976-2025/.
The Annapolis Ten Mile Run has been selected as the 2026 RRCA Maryland State 10 Mile Championship! We are grateful for the recognition of our continued commitment to excellence.
Hundreds of volunteers are needed to put on this event. If you have family or friends willing to help out, and get a great 2026 Volunteer’s shirt, please let us know. TO VOLUNTEER: Email Eva Coale, our volunteer coordinator, at a10volunteers@annapolisstriders.org.
