Welcome to NCRC

Welcome to the North Carolina Roadrunners Club, commonly known as NCRC! We're a nonprofit organization that's a member club of the Road Runners Club of America, one of 23 RRCA clubs in North Carolina. We're based in Raleigh, where our club began in 1979 (see the About NCRC tab for more details). NCRC is also a member club of USA Track & Field. NCRC hosts three races each year, ranging in length from 5K to half-marathon, and holds an annual fund-raising event (see the NCRC Races/Events tab for details). Benefits of becoming a club member include race and in-store discounts, a bimonthly online newsletter, and a member rewards program. We also hold social runs and other events throughout the year (see the Calendar tab). All runners and walkers are welcome to join us! If you're new to the Triangle, check out Triangle Running Websites under the Resources tab.

Bottle Theory White Oak Social Run/Walk — Saturday

For NCRC's August social run/walk, we'll be starting from the Bottle Theory beer and wine shop (3675 Green Level Road West Suite 101 in Apex) at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday. Bottle Theory is great for a summer run/walk location because it's next to the White Oak Creek Greenway, which is a flat, mostly shaded greenway (look for the smiling fox mural) that connects to the American Tobacco Trail (some hills when you get to the ATT). On weekend mornings, Bottle Theory offers teas and coffee, including a cold brew. NCRC will also provide refreshments, which we can enjoy on the covered patio after returning from our run/walk. Come early if you want to add mileage on the greenway.

Bring your family or yourself for NCRC's Fall Picnic on Sept. 14 in the Picnic Grove at the new Gipson Play Plaza at Dix Park (715 Biggs Drive in Raleigh)! We'll meet there at 1 p.m. for lunch. Please RSVP on the Calendar entry for this event on this website. NCRC will provide sandwiches; please bring a side or dessert to share. Hang around afterward to enjoy the park.

Register for NCRC's ATT 10-Miler and 4-Miler (Oct. 25)

Registration is open for NCRC's fall race, the American Tobacco Trail 10-Miler and 4-Miler, which will be held on Saturday, Oct. 25. The two races, which follow out-and-back courses on the ATT, start and end at the White Oak Church Road trailhead (1305 White Oak Church Road in Apex). After heading north of the trailhead last year, the courses return to south of the trailhead this year. The fall date creates a scenic backdrop for this event.
If you're unable to run the race, please consider volunteering!
