HFC Striders History

Greater Boston Area Running Club


The HFC Striders were founded in 1972 by Jim Goggin and Ed Groden.

The club name originates from a remark a runner used to make when asked how he felt after a good, hard work out. The response: "Hurtin' For Certain".

The club wears the green singlet with the red apple. The red apple is HFC's New England equivalent to the Orange worn by a popular Florida Running club. Here is an article written by club founder Ed Groden that appeared in Level Renner in July of 2013 that describes HFC:
