Summit Athletic Running Club Activities

Volunteering - We are always looking for club members to assist with the races we manage. The race day activities generally include helping with registration, guiding runners along the course, helping with water stops, and assisting with the finish line. Volunteering is a great way to meet other club members is can be a fun family event.

Monthly Meetings - Each month we meet for a group run followed by our meeting. A variety of speakers covering all aspects of fitness, health, and of course running are featured at our meetings. Presenters have included former Olympians, motivational speakers, and medical experts.

Club Runs - We have several groups that meet both during the week and on the weekends. The groups range from casual to competitive. Why run alone?

Scholarship Program
Each year we provide scholarships for college bound seniors who have been active in running. Club members are eligible to nominate their family members.

Networking
Our members offer a wide variety of personal and professional skills to one and other. The friendships that are bonded within our club are often life lasting.

Racing
We continue to host several races including the Shamrock 15K & 5K, the Jim Klett Memorial 10K / 5K / Kids Run, and the Buckeye Half Marathon & 5K.

Staying in Touch
In addition to our monthly meetings and club runs, we provide a monthly newsletter that highlights the latest news and events for our club. Club members provide interesting and often funny articles regarding their running experiences. Another way to stay in touch is to visit our club web site at www.summitathletic.com, which is updated on a weekly basis.
