Chico running club is thrilled to partner with Chico Striders Youth Running Club again this year to co-sponsor the second annual Run Strong Scholarship. Each year the Striders identify a deserving local athlete for this scholarship. The scholarship is awarded to the student athlete that has demonstrated commitment, courage, and charisma in both their academic and athletic career.
In 2023 a $1,000 scholarship was awarded to Chloe Alchin, Strider and Pleasant Valley High School graduate who has continued her running career at Cal Poly Pomona and studying Animal Sciences.
In 2024 a $1,000 scholarship was awarded to Austin Hein an accomplished runner at Pleasant Valley High School, who will be attending Cal State Stanislaus and continuing his running career on the collegiate level.
