Annapolis Ten Mile Run
Sunday, August 30th, 2026
Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium
The 51st annual A-10 is now a mere one month away! And if you’ve dilly-dallied on signing up, you should probably get a move-on to RunSignup.com/A10 and get yourself registered before the entry fee goes up by ten bucks this Saturday (8/1). Please remind your friends as well, ’coz the more, the merrier!
You also don’t want to miss out on our finisher premium & medal, which we showed off on our A-10 Instagram & Facebook channels this week! Longtime Striders Renee & Tim Hella were nice enough to model our soft unisex cotton fleece quarter-zip tops, featuring roomy pockets, knit cuffs & waist, and embroidered logos. And finisher medals, which debuted in 2019, are back for a sixth year, this time featuring the dome graphic from the A-10 logo. But you won’t get either without running the race on August 30th!
But if you can’t run the A-10 this year, please, PLEASE volunteer! This is our club’s biggest event, and we can’t put it on each year without hundreds of volunteers pitching in all weekend long. Course marshals, parking marshals, packet pick-up, beer truck, course sweep— we have all sorts of positions available. So please visit RunSignup.com/A10/Volunteer to pick your own duty or duties, or e-mail our volunteer coordinator at a10volunteers@annapolisstriders.org and offer to help. We’ll even give you a free A-10 volunteer shirt!
