You don't have to live in Melrose to be a part of the Melrose Running Club. Although most of our members do live here, we have members that live as far away as New Hampshire. The plot below shows the top ten cities our members come from.

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 run at the track on Thursdays, and run our long runs on Sunday Mornings, and we run road races. Lots of them. 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 miles MRC members ran in road races each calendar year.
