Mission
The purpose of URunning Club is to provide a fun and healthy environment for undergraduates.
students, graduate students, and faculty members to run both competitively and non-competitively.
URunning Club will inform its members of safe running procedures and proper training techniques
during club meetings and training sessions. URunning Club will also encourage social interactions
among the University of Rochester community, and will act to integrate the running community of
the Rochester area and other universities
We explore the parks surrounding UR on our runs, in addition to the city itself.

Membership Benefits
Members gain a fun and safe way to run and meet new people at the University. There is room for runners of varying skill levels and physical fitness in the Running Club. Some members are simply trying to stay in shape and get some exercise, while others are trying to improve their times and become better competitive runners. Members who choose to participate in the races our club attends a few times per year may aim for a specific time, a specific place, or simply to reach the finish line. We allow our members to set their own goals, and provide a supportive community of runners that help each other reach our goals.
