The Stoney Creek Running Club is a group of diverse and interesting men and women who choose to train and socialize together. We are a family oriented club and encourage youth participation in our events. All members receive a monthly newsletter with a schedule of club events and race updates. As a member you also receive special discounts at local running stores and related businesses. Our annual meeting occurs in early December.
Members often meet as a group to train for and race major events such as the Crim, Detroit Marathon and often meet for a post race party.
Year round club runs are scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays with some members running together Tuesdays and Thursdays. Fast or slow, all runners and walkers are welcome to share in the fun. During the long cold Michigan winters members really depend on each other for support.
Spring, summer and fall training sessions are led by nationally recognized running coaches and are held on Tuesdays in Sterling Heights. Runners of all levels are encouraged to participate and the individual’s abilities are factored into the training. These sessions can prepare you for a 5K or 10K. In the fall the training transitions into marathon training in preparation for the Detroit Marathon.
Volunteerism is encouraged and appreciated. We assist with the finish line in the Race for the Cure: Sponsor a water station at the Detroit Marathon: run a children’s race each summer and participate in The Stony Creek Park Clean-up for earth day.
