North Carolina Roadrunners Club

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 two annual fund-raising events (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.

October is a special month for NCRC. We have the last of our three annual races, the ATT 10-Miler and 4-Miler, on Oct. 26. We have our annual Membership Drive Winery Run Picnic on Saturday. And for the fourth straight year, NCRC is having a membership special during the month of October.

NEW MEMBERS who join Oct. 1-31 will receive $10 off our annual membership rates for individual ($20 with the special October rate) and family ($35 with the special rate) memberships and $5 off for student ($15 with the special rate) and youth ($10 with the special rate) memberships. This special does not apply to those whose membership has lapsed and only applies for the first year of membership. Click on the "JOIN" button on this page to sign up.

Those who join this month can receive the $10 club member discount to our ATT race (go to the link below for race details and to register) and other member discounts, which are shown below and on the Club Deals page of this website. NCRC welcomes all runners AND walkers.

Join us for an NCRC fall tradition -- the October membership drive winery run picnic in Apex. We'll meet at 10 a.m. Saturday at the White Oak Church Road Trailhead of the American Tobacco Trail (1305 White Oak Church Road in Apex) for our run or walk on the ATT. You can start earlier for additional mileage. Afterward, we'll head over to the Cloer Family Vineyards (8624 Castleberry Road in Apex) for a group photo at 11:15 before enjoying a picnic on the grounds. Bring picnic food to share, or you can buy food at the winery or from a service like Uber Eats. Use the RSVP form on the Calendar entry for this event on this website BY TUESDAY for a free tasting flight of wine or a free glass of wine or muscadine grape juice (courtesy of NCRC).

Join us for the last of three annual NCRC races: the ATT 10-Miler and 4-Miler on Oct. 26. This will be the 17th running of our fall race, which benefits the Triangle Rails to Trails Conservancy. The 10-mile and 4-mile races both start and end, heading north this year because of storm damage to the ATT, from the White Oak Church Road trailhead. For the 4-mile race, registration is only $20 for participants who are 18 and under on race day! If you're unable to run the race or just want to support those who are running it, please sign up to volunteer!
