    WHY DO I NEED TO JOIN A RUNNING CLUB?

    The Trotters are a group of people who have at least one thing in common...the love of running.  Joining the club gives you access to more than 150 of these people from the area.

    Enjoy a solitary run on a crisp morning.  An evening run to relieve the frustrations of the workday.  These are things we all enjoy and continue to do.  We have such a wide variety of members - all ages, abilities, occupations and interests - you can almost always find another Trotter or group of Trotters with whom to run.  Goals range from racing, 5K's, marathons, ultras, triathlons, and improving fitness.  Any goal includes the social aspect of the club.

    If you've never run with a group, join us and see how much fun - or how challenging - it can be.  Don't feel that you will be too slow or too fast.  There's usually someone around to run with at just about any pace.

    The Trotters are into so much more than running.  We help the local community in many ways by volunteering.  We also have many fun outings such as pre-race dinners, softball challenge, summer barbeques, holiday party, and holiday runs.
