Description
Oak Park Runners Club is one of the oldest and most active running groups in the Chicago area. We run every Monday evening, Wednesday evening, and Saturday morning. We run all year, all weather, except lightning.
We have socials, trail runs, and monthly meetings. We compete on the CARA Circuit, host the Good Life Race 5K, and volunteer at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon and the Bank of America Chicago 13.1.
Oak Park, which is in our name, is where we are based. However, about 30% of our members live in neighboring towns, such as River Forest, Forest Park, Berwyn, Cicero, Elmwood Park, Melrose Park, Maywood, Berkeley, Chicago, and more!
Oak Park Runners Club is a registered 501(c)(3) organization, and a member of the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA). Our Good Life Race 5K course is USA Track & Field (USATF) certified.
