why we run
The club that meetsbefore sunrise.
MWC Runners is an inclusive space for runners of every level. The group is on the road at 5 AM each morning, and whether you are walking your first 5K or training for your fifth ultra, someone will notice that you showed up. That is the whole idea of the club.
