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.

Join Us for Feb. 16 Run for the Roses 5K (New Course)!

Registration is open for the 2025 Run for the Roses 5K, one of the oldest 5Ks in the Triangle! The 44th annual race, where every female finisher receives a red rose, will be held Sunday, Feb. 16, for the second year at the Walnut Creek Athletic Complex at 1200 Sunnybrook Road in Raleigh with a new, improved course (see map on event website).

NCRC's annual winter race benefits two veterans-related organizations. This family-friendly race will have two children's races, face painting, and a special rate of $20 for participants under 18 years old. Registration is also open for race volunteers. Volunteering is a great way to support runners in their races!

Snoopy's Social Run — Sunday, Feb. 23

This February social run is always a weiner! We start from the Snoopy's hot dog stand at 3600 Hillsborough Street (next to Meredith College) and, 5 miles later, end up at the Snoopy's at East Whitaker Mill Road (1931 Wake Forest Road). Registration is required. Participants can enjoy a free hot dog, fries, or drink at each location! This Sunday afternoon event is a fundraiser for the Wake County SPCA, Mr. Snoopy's favorite charity. Part of the fun is carpooling from the ending Snoopy's (you can park along Fairfield Drive) to the starting one.
