Running

Michigan Running Club offers much more than running. With over 200 members, and a governing body of 12 board members, we are a vast community of athletes of all experience levels. We were founded with the purpose of spreading love for running and health throughout the community, promoting the positive development of young people as individuals through the medium of running and allowing for special, memorable life experiences and journeys. Although we call our club Mrun, we have both casual and competitive distance and sprinting opportunities, hurdles, steeplechase, jumps, throwing, and other field events.

We are seeking $2,000 to fund a portion of our trip to the NIRCA nationals cross country championships in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

We strive to provide the opportunity to participate in all competitions at a low cost and to make our club as inclusive as possible. In the last 7 years, women have won 6 national cross country championships, and men have won national cross country championships in 2018 and 2024.

The total cost of this meet including the meet registration, travel, and accommodations is over $2,000. We hope to subsidize most if not all of the cost and our success during Club Sports Kickoff will determine how much of the cost is carried by the Club's budget and/or the participants.

Nationals is what we work towards as a team, so we would like to continue to keep it affordable, so we can bring as many people there, and compete for the national title!
