MWC Runners is an inclusive space for runners of every level. Sunday is the Trailblazer 5K, Saturday the Distance Chasers long run, Tuesday is strength work on the court — and whether you are walking your first 5K or training for an ultra, someone will notice that you showed up. That is the whole idea of the club.
