Welcoming runners of all abilities. The purpose of the Ambler Area Running Club is to develop and promote local running and racing, to provide running-related information and social activities, and to enhance training opportunities in a supportive atmosphere for runners of all abilities. AARC provides these activities in a way that promotes the well-being of the community. In addition to its annual Fireside Frostbite 5-Miler in February, Phil's Tavern Quarter Marathon Race in July, weekly fun runs, and seasonal track workouts, AARC sponsors classes, group runs, safety programs, and clinics, and provides assistance to other non-profit community groups sponsoring runs and walks.
