Just Getting Started!

The Upstate Running Club was founded in 2020 and serves the needs of the running & fitness community with weekly club runs, races, volunteer efforts, and youth organized training sessions. The URC has quickly become the biggest club in the state of South Carolina with over 1500 club members and host over 30 races in the Upstate. The Upstate Running Club is a proud member of the Road Runners Club of America. The URC is a 501(c)(3) organization and is organized and managed by a board of directors and executive committee. This means we will be working hard to provide resources and opportunities for the youth of the Upstate that fosters positive growth in the sport of running! If you are someone you work for would like to sponsor our youth team feel free to send them our information! 
 
The Upstate Running Club has filed its articles of organization with the state of South Carolina and the federal government to obtain its 501(c)(3) status as a non profit. Our goal is to bring our passion of running to the youth of the Upstate by providing FREE organized runs, training sessions, and racing opportunities throughout the year.
