Our Mission: The Grand Rapids Running Club is a non-profit organization started in 1969 that promotes running, fitness, and a healthy lifestyle within Grand Rapids, MI and surrounding areas. Our club is inclusive and seeks to provide opportunities for walkers and runners of all abilities to meet and participate in activities together. We recognize fitness as a family quest and encourage family membership. Giving back to our community through donations and service activities is part of the long history and culture of our club. It is our goal to inspire and encourage a community of runners of all abilities in their personal running journeys and to have fun doing so along the way. Join us for free training runs Saturday and Sunday mornings at 8:00 am at John Ball Park.
