Adult Membership - $20.00 (includes high school students)

Our adult memberships are a one year membership, which is one year in length from the date of purchase.  All proceeds from membership sales go toward our youth program.

Our club promotes running, as well as walking, as a means of promoting healthy exercise. As a member, you will have access to our facebook page and our website, both of which will be instrumental in keeping you informed on the goings on of our club.

Our facebook page is where our members will interact, and it is where we will post daily runs/walks. Most of our run/walk postings will be in advance, with a set map provided. All members will gather at a specific time and place (if they are able) and from there, they will walk or run the distance at their own pace. We all start and finish at the same location, but at different times, depending on your level. These runs are as much social as they are exercise and we encourage members to participate when they can.

We will provide a Couch to 5K clinic twice a year for newcomers; once in the spring and once in the fall.  This program is designed for folks that are currently inactive, or are just starting out.  The clinic is 10 weeks in length and by the end of the clinic, you will be able to complete a 5K run with ease.

When you join the Defiance Running Club, you become part of the family, and this family does not judge. As a runner/walker, you are not competing against other members of the club, you are only competing against YOURSELF. As you progress and evolve, we ask that you remember your beginnings as new members continue to surface in our club, and we encourage our veteran members to assist the newbies whenever possible.
