You’ll also find us at races and events across the country (and beyond!), always cheering, supporting, and giving back — as runners, friends, and volunteers.

No pressure, no barriers. Just running, community, and support.

I have friends all over the country thanks to Fordy Runs. I had no family or close friends come to support me at my first marathon but I knew that being part of Fordy Runs that I was never going to be alone all weekend. I will never forget being calmed down by fellow Fordys pre-race, the feeling of being spotted and hyped up on out and backs, being given a hug mid race, and so many people shouting my name on the finishing straight, despite taking over 6 hours. Everybody’s energy is infectious and can push you through not only difficult races, but difficult times in life 🩷

I was a solo runner, none of my friends run, and FRRC has changed all that. I get to meet someone new at every event I go to. I also now get to see the new friends I’ve made. I’ve got involved at just the level I wanted to, there are no expectations or pressures to do anything you don’t want to. I’ve found that Fordy Runs Running Club is not a normal club, it’s just a supportive and warm place to be.
