\"\" \"\"

The Dry Creek Striders, DCS, are a race team founded in 2020 by Collin Knaub and DJ Hummel. The team expanded in 2022 when Joel Kaar and I (Jon Raessler) joined, and then again in 2024 when Lauren Hummel began racing with us. Later in 2024, Paul Hemmick and Peter Truskey joined our ranks.

Our main race distances are 5Ks and 10Ks, though we\u2019ve done a few shorter and longer races here and there. We also do time trials ranging from 400M-10Ks, as readers of the Untamed Runner are well-aware. Sprinkled among our races are morning training runs followed by burritos or donuts.

We don’t mandate that team members compete in a certain number of races or achieve certain levels of placement-we enjoy running and training. Yet, we also strive to be competitive and a short list of our statistics is below:

Team totals:

Overall race wins: 58 (Collin-54, DJ-3, Paul-1)
Podium Finishes (Top-3 overall, not including overall wins): 43 (DJ-19, Collin-14, Jon-9, Peter-1)
Masters Wins (when races offer Masters-level wins): 5 (Collin-3, DJ-2)
Age Group Wins: 19 (DJ-7, Collin-6, Jon-5, Peter-1)
Age Group Places: 22 (DJ-9, Jon-6, Collin-3, Lauren-3, Joel-1)
Overall Podium Sweeps: (2) Weld Your Mettle 7K-2023, Lucky Brew 5K-2025

Among Collin’s 30 wins are 6 course records and a ten race winning streak. We\u2019ve had multiple 1-2 finishes in races across a wide variety of courses and conditions, and our first podium sweep in early 2023. We had our second podium sweep in early 2025. Race statistics will be updated (if we earn certain places, of course) here as we compete more.

What we might be best known for is our team uniforms: neon yellow shirts and hot pink shorts, as shown in the photo above. While showing up in said colors means we better churn out a good race, per an earlier post<\/a>, style can matter and we\u2019re never short on getting questions about us when we\u2019re at the start line.

The following races are those we’re considering for the near future. Bold indicates that one or more of us have signed up for the race. All race locations are in Colorado unless otherwise noted. All-Comers track meets (in the summer) are in the evening. All others are in the mornings.

Stay tuned here for more updates on the team\u2026
