Of course! As stated above, we’re all inclusive and welcome step takers of any pace. We actually have quite a few walkers and find that on some days there are more walkers than runners.
-
Since we meet before the park opens, a state park pass and signed park waiver is needed to get into the park early. When you sign the waiver, they give you the gate code, which changes monthly. However, if you would like to “try it before you buy it” – on the last Friday of the month, we’re allowed to provide a one time use access code as a guest accompanying the host (seven people max). Email us for details.

Nada. Zilch. Absolutely nothing! We’re volunteer based and just want a community that is accessible to all. That said, if you do want to help support and keep this club “running” (we do have some admin fees, such as this website) please consider purchasing ARC apparel. It’s run (pun intended) by one of our very own clubs members, and a portion of the sales goes to supporting the club's growth.
ARC pride + support club growth + small local businesses owners = Wins all around!

✍️ If coming to your first run, please take a moment and fill out our waiver.
Besides that, come out have some fun and get some steps in. While you’re here, feel free to poke around the site. There's some great member spotlights, music playlists, and other things to check out.

ARC will always be a running community first and foremost, but we also like to give back. We have a “Community and Conservation” initiative, which you can check out here. There's NO pressure in participating, but if you do, there's lots of way to help out! Supply drives, volunteering, financial contributions, etc.”

Absolutely! ARC does “official” meet ups at a lot of local races and a lot of members will connect on their own at other races. You can find a lot of the planning and discussion about this on our facebook group. Just check out the featured/pinned posts “Race Chats” and look for the corresponding month at the top.

Our meetups are rain or shine unless there is lightning or inclement weather which may put us at risk. Any announcements on cancelations will be made as a post on the facebook group.
Let's all stay safe and healthy. Please make sure to practice safety guidelines such as social distancing, wearing masks before/after run; be mindful of physical contact, and do not participate in ARC activities if covid symptoms are present.
