About the RUNegades Running Club
RUNegade (Run-e-gade): A runner who behaves in a rebelliously unconventional manner.
The RUNegades Running Club is a 501c3 charitable nonprofit organization that is dedicated to promoting health and wellness while making a positive impact on the community. Founded with the vision of combining a passion for running with philanthropy, the RUNegades host various running events throughout the year to raise funds for local charities.
One of the core principles of the RUNegades is to make a difference by organizing free events for local charities. These events are designed to encourage people of all fitness levels to participate, fostering inclusivity and community engagement. Participants have the opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause while enjoying the benefits of physical activity.
In addition to their free events, the RUNegades have formed a partnership with the Pennsylvania Running Company. Together, they organize paid running events that attract a broader audience and generate even greater support for local charities. Through these collaborations, the RUNegades have successfully raised over $85,000 to date, benefiting a variety of charitable organizations within the community.
The RUNegades Running Club is driven by the belief that real health, true wellness, is not something that anyone can achieve alone. It depends on the health of our surrounding community. Since 2018 we have worked hard to create and maintain a strong, supportive group of not only runners, but also walkers, coaches, trainers, therapists, and community organizers.
We make sure that everyone feels welcome at our weekly runs and community-based events. We warmly welcome ALL paces and faces and provide opportunities for our runners (and walkers) to engage with our local communities.
We've come a long way, but there is still a lot of work to be done, miles to be run, and fun to be had! We hope you join us soon. You won't regret it!
