No matter how old or where from, we all have one thing in common, a shared enthusiasm for running. We run regularly on Tuesday Nights, we organize specialized runs on Thursday Nights, Saturday Mornings, and Sunday Mornings, and we run road races. Road racing isn't a requirement to be an MRC member, but many of our members participate in road races regularly as a way to measure their ability and support our sport. Our members range from competitive to back of the pack racers participating in local 5Ks, nationally known marathons, and relay teams, as well as an occasional triathlon or ultra-marathon. All your racing experiences as an MRC member will be logged here at www.melroserunningclub.com for your convenience. The next plot shows the number of road races each MRC member ran in the previous calendar year.
