RC Athletic Club is more than a run club, it's a community. π
Now you can wear it, too. Our merchandise collection was created for the runners, walkers, supporters, and friends who make this club what it is!
Grab your favorite piece, rep the club, and help us continue building a stronger running community together. ππ»ππΌββοΈββ‘οΈ

This week weβre previewing the Steamboat Classic course!ππ₯ Youβll have two route options:
π 3 mile modified route: https://routes.rungoapp.com/route/cdpLShIv9r
πββοΈ Full Steamboat preview route starting from RC (4.75 miles): https://routes.rungoapp.com/route/zTuGd82OAn
Plus, Brooks will be hanging with us on Saturday with demo shoes, giveaways, and maybe even a shoe raffle π
ποΈ Run will start at 8am, being led by Shepherds of various pace groups (even walking!). Raffles will be pulled at 9:15am, so no matter which route you choose, make sure youβre back by then! Must be present to win.
After the run, stick around for donuts and a post-run hangout π©βοΈ
One more thing: the Farmers Market is back for the summer, so downtown parking will fill up fast! Try to get here a little early to grab a good spot and secure a pair of demo shoes. πππ»
Weβre so excited to run with everyone tomorrow! β€οΈ
Please note: there will be no run club the morning of the Steamboat Classic (June 6th, 2026).

Wednesday Night Training Social = your chance to try a super shoe!
Meet us at RC Outfitters at 5:30PM for a fun night with Diadora as we gear up for the Steamboat Classic Presented by PNC!
Weβll head out for a 2-mile run, then Diadora will have the Gara Carbon 3 available for a special test run activity. Itβs pretty rare to get the chance to demo a carbon plated racing shoe without buying one first, nowβs your chance to see what the hype is about and feel the difference for yourself! β‘οΈ
And because no run social is complete without a post-run hang, weβre heading to Kelleherβs after where the first round is on Diadora. πππ»
