About Us

click to read club by-laws

The Rhode Island Road Runners is the smallest state's largest running club. As of last count, we numbered 203 members, mixed gender. Our members come in all ages, shapes, sizes, and skill levels. Despite the name, we even have a growing number of recreational and race walkers in our ranks.

The RIRR is a way to expand your running/walking world, and see just how fun this hobby (some say addiction) can be! The club is very active, with weekly training runs throughout the state, sponsored races, 2 giant parties each year, a Grand Prix series, and a bunch of awards for which to compete.

Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of every month at 7:30 at Sons of Italy/Spirito's Restaurant, where we discuss upcoming events, and talk about the sport (or just about anything else that crosses the table). On occasion, we have speakers who are well known for their expertise in running, coaching, sports science and nutritional information. If you are interested in joining click here. Hope to see you soon!
