Members are eligible to participate in our Race Training programs. These programs are intended to help beginner or advanced beginner runners learn the mechanics of running, build endurance and successfully complete their first race. In addition, members can run with our Sunday Long Distance group if they are training for half or full marathons.

Social Events

Members are invited to attend club social functions, including monthly happy hours at local bars, special brunches, Spring Fling weekend, Capital Pride events, club trips, fundraising events for local charitable causes and a variety of parties.

Website Features

In late 2007, the club will introduce a member’s only portion of our website, where you will have access to an interactive club member directory, events calendar, bulletin board and other exclusive features.
