About the Strides for Strength
The course runs through Mansfield and is oriented around a breast cancer awareness mission, with the route open to both runners and walkers. The atmosphere skews toward families and supporters rather than competitors, with survivors recognized as part of the event. It is the kind of morning where the crowd is there for a reason beyond finishing time.
Packet pickup runs across a couple of days before the race at the local YMCA, with a race-morning option available at the hospital lobby that serves as the start area. Bring your registration confirmation and a photo ID. A teammate can grab your packet for you if needed.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2025 results, this is a decent-sized field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Strides for Strength has been held every year since at least 2024. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
