Hello friends and fellow runners! You love happy hours, breakfasts, and meeting people. You love flexibility, variety, and options if you miss a run. In January of 2011 we formed the White Rock Running
Co-op. What is the White Rock Running Co-op? The WRRC is a non-profit group of runners dedicated to working together for the sake of training, fitness, and friendship. All members of the co-op contribute towards achieving the goals in whatever way fits their abilities, schedule, and desires. The WRRC membership is free so it relies on its members to provide whatever leadership, supplies, and skills are needed to make the group a success. Members agree to only expect that which has been promised and to deliver on all promises made. Following are a few guiding principles behind membership in the WRRC:
1. No member shall solicit nor profit from members of the WRRC.
2. All runners are welcome to run with the WRRC but are encouraged to contribute to the group by identifying a need or desire then filling the same
3. All members agree that WRRC is to be free of complaints, politics, and drama, all to be replaced with enjoyable, supportive, friendship-building interaction. So what does this mean in a practical matter? We recognize people have many different goals, skills, and objectives. Collectively, we intend to bring our individual skills together to lead training runs and social events throughout the coming years. We intend to connect people of all paces, abilities, goals, skills, and experiences levels to promote a positive running environment that allows people to get out of the co-op what they put in. We meet as a group several days a week to facilitate training runs throughout the year. For more information, see the events posted in our Facebook group. Many people train for half and full marathons in the spring and fall and we support those objectives with training schedules. We offer long runs, hill workouts, track workouts, and many other social runs. What does it mean to contribute? Perhaps you want to build a route or pace a certain time spot. Maybe you want to organize a happy hour. Maybe you want to put out the water coolers, bring chocolate milk, or bring a few bananas. Perhaps you want to organize a run on a off night or in an off location from the usual group runs. Maybe you have other ideas. The co-op is what its members want it to be. Be the change you seek. What next? Join the public group on Facebook. Share your thoughts and ideas with the group. You ARE the co-op. Then, start showing up! Our FB group:
