Grand Prix Races
The Saratoga Stryder's Grand Prix is designed to encourage more participation in club events through friendly competition and volunteer activities.
You don't have to be the fastest to participate or win a prize at the end of the year.
The more you race, the more points you can earn. Plus, you get to be in more Saratoga Stryder Club photos!
