Group Runs and Workouts
Join weekly social runs, long runs, and structured track workouts designed for a variety of experience levels and goals.
A welcoming Northeast Ohio running community for first-time 5K participants, ultrarunners, walkers, and everyone in between.
Northeast Running Club began as a small group of approximately 25 runners and has grown into a community of hundreds of runners and walkers throughout Northeast Ohio.
Whether you are preparing for your first 5K, chasing a personal best, building toward a 50K, or simply looking for friendly people to move with, there is a place for you at NERC.
Many members live in Lake County, with additional members from Geauga, Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, and surrounding counties.
NERC brings people together through running, friendly competition, volunteering, and support for the next generation of local athletes.
Join weekly social runs, long runs, and structured track workouts designed for a variety of experience levels and goals.
Connect beyond the finish line through pub run/walks, club gatherings, and other events throughout the year.
Members can participate in a season-long race series that celebrates consistency, competition, and participation.
Club members volunteer at local races and help award scholarships to deserving Northeast Ohio high school student-athletes.
Running clubs can feel intimidating from the outside. NERC is built around encouragement, shared goals, and showing up for one another.
Come to an event, meet a few people, and choose the pace or distance that works for you. Your first step does not need to be perfect—it just needs to be yours.
