FAQs

I’m not a fast runner. Can I still join? Absolutely! Speed is relative, and we have runners of all paces. If you’re worried about being too slow or getting left behind, we’ll be there for you along the way.

How much does it cost to join? It’s completely free. Everyone involved, from leaders to photographers to the aid station crew, does it out of love for the community.

Do I need to be training for a marathon? Not at all! Some of our runners have races coming up, but many just run for fun and fitness.

What’s the process to join? Do I need to prepare? Just show up! We typically warm up 15 minutes after the meeting time and start running 10 minutes later. There’s no need to check in, but you can introduce yourself to the leaders or anyone else if you like.

How do I make friends? Everyone seems so close. Making friends takes time and effort. You won’t leave your first run with hundreds of new pals, but by being friendly, open, and showing up consistently, you’ll naturally become part of the community.

Do I have to wear top of the line gear? Not at all! Wear whatever brand or gear makes you comfortable.

How can I get a NCRC hat? These hats are in production right now but feel free to register for our newsletter!

I want to buy merch that’s sold out. Will you restock? We generally don’t restock once items are sold out.
