Our Mission:
The Decatur Running Club is a diverse community of runners of all ages and abilities. Through training, group running experiences, and participation in running events, we encourage and support our members to attain their running goals, foster a spirit of camaraderie, and give back to the local running community.
 
Our History:

The Decatur Running Club was founded in 1987 by a group of area runners who wanted to connect with other local runners. The DRC, as well as helping runners meet other runners, provides group runs throughout the area weekly, assists with the annual Learn to Run Program, and has a key role in the annual Shoreline Classic 5K and 15K. 
The DRC welcomes all who are interested in keeping connected to the running community, whether it is through attending local races, volunteering at DRC sponsored events, participating in fun social runs with individuals of similar paces, or simply finding a network of fellow runners for training advice.
