Berwyn Runners Club is a community-based group of runners of all levels from beginners to ultra-marathoners. Our goal is to be a place where all runners feel welcome to accomplish their goals whether it a be a first 5k or 100th marathon or even a place to just socialize while running. We have been an active group in Berwyn since 2012. Originally begun as a social Facebook page, we became a non-profit organization and affiliate of the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) in 2025. This means we carry liability insurance and follow best practices regarding safety, quality, and inclusivity.

The 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. The Club hosts group runs, fun runs, training runs, running events, social events, walks, and programs on the road, track, and trails. 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. 

Although the city of Berwyn is where our club is based, some of our members and runners live in neighboring towns including Cicero, Lyons, Oak Park, Forest Park and Chicago. Our running club brings people together through a shared love of running and community. We motivate each other to set goals, celebrate milestones, and support every pace and distance. Beyond the miles, we build friendships, give back to the community, and create an inclusive space where everyone feels encouraged to keep moving forward.
