About Conway Running Club
Founded in 1992 by Don Potter, Conway Running Club (CRC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, volunteer-led community built around one simple idea: running is better together.
Fast? Cool. Slow? Cool. Walking? Absolutely. Just getting started? Even better.
Whether you're training for your first 5K, chasing a PR, getting back into running, or just looking for some really good people to move with—there's a place for you here.
🏃♀️ Run a little. Run a lot.
🚶 Walk it. Jog it. Send it.
🏁 Train for something—or don't.
🍻 Come for the miles. Stay for the people.
We host weekly group runs, social runs, pub runs, and events around Conway. No tryouts. No pace requirements. No pressure to be a "real runner."
Just show up. Find your people. Have some fun.
RUN. VIBE. REPEAT.
