MRC Membership by City
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, meet for a casual run on Saturdays and long runs on Sundays, 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.
