Our Mission: Promote running as a lifestyle for individuals of all abilities through fellowship, education, and events. We are indeed a club for all runners. Whether you jog, run, race, volunteer, or simply want to be around a dynamic group of individuals and families who share a common passion, you are welcome to join! In addition to running events and resources, we offer volunteer opportunities, college scholarships, and race services for those planning a running event. Summit Athletic Club (SARC) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with over 600 members. For 48 years the club has served runners in Akron and surrounding communities. SARC race proceeds have been used to award over $30,000 in college scholarships and over $50,000 in donations to organizations such as the Akron-Canton Regional Food Bank and Summit County Children's Services.
