Yosemite Running Club is organized to provide a community-based running organization that empowers all people to participate in the sport of running in pursuit of enjoyment, health, well-being and competition. In furtherance of our purpose, YRC hosts group runs, fun runs, training runs, running events, and programs on the road, track, and trails.  YRC also hosts education sessions about topics of interest for runners, provides awards, hosts social events, and all such other things as may be conducive to the encouragement of running. Additionally, the Club also engages in community activities, to publicize by appropriate means, the benefits of running as a means of physical fitness to improve the health status of people in our community. The Club believes that running is good for the body, soul, people, and planet, and thus serves to support and promote running for individuals and as a collective.
