Membership Benefits
Over the years, our club has grown from a small group of 20 members at its founding in 1967 to a group of more than 3,000! We didn't grow by skimping on great benefits for our members. Not only do we offer "tangibles" such as events, races, discounts and our "members-only" website, but our greatest benefit of all is an "intangible"— the chance to make new friends. Some of the nicest people you will ever meet will be running alongside you with smiling faces! Learn more about membership benefits.

It is our mission to unite runners of every level of ability and interest, promoting good health, friendship and camaraderie, and training ideas, while encouraging participation in all types of running events, while focusing our key club sponsored races towards supporting charitable causes.
