Introduction
The University Running Club is a group that meets a few times a week for distance runs. We also travel and race together. There is always a fun, social atmosphere coupled with our hard-working ethic. It is a great place to meet new friends and get in shape!
Our primary goal is to foster relationships between healthy active individuals through running. In addition we positively represent the University of Minnesota's running community by racing area races and acting with integrity.
We are open to all skill levels from elites to beginners so come check us out!

Everyone that is planning on running at NIRCA nationals on November 14 has to have completely payed any club fees and any remaining hotel or race fees by THIS THURSDAY (the 29th)! If you have not payed your club fee or still owe the club money for a previous race then YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COME TO NATIONALS! If you are unsure of if you owe us/how much you owe us then contact us immediately and we will let you know. We have to get papers signed a week before nationals, so no one can be late on their payment. Also, if you are planning on running at nationals, you should try to make it to the workouts this week. The times and places are listed in the September 26 email "Workouts for this week".We will also be having a Halloween costume run this Friday, the 30th.
