Membership Benefits
Over the years, our club has grown from a small group of 20 members at its founding in 1967 to a group of more than 2,900! We didn't grow by skimping on great benefits for our members. Not only do we offer "tangibles" such as events, races, discounts and our "members-only" website, but our greatest benefit of all is an "intangible"— the chance to make new friends. Some of the nicest people you will ever meet will be running alongside you with smiling faces! Learn more about membership benefits.

It is our mission to unite runners of every level of ability and interest, promoting good health, friendship and camaraderie, and training ideas, while encouraging participation in all types of running events, while focusing our key club sponsored races towards supporting charitable causes.

Parking for the Independence 5K - there is very limited parking at Sunset Bay (the race site). Park at Winfrey Point and then walk a quarter mile north along the lake.

To get to Winfrey Point: From the intersection of Buckner Blvd and Garland Rd, go south on Garland Rd for 0.6 miles. Take a right on Emerald Isle (Barbec’s restaurant is there at the turn) and go approx. 0.5 miles. Take a left on Winfrey Point Drive at the dead-end you'll see the parking areas. Here's a map of White Rock Lake.

NEW! Yet another reason to volunteer! From Jose, who volunteered June 7 at our race: "Thank you for the opportunity to assist our fellow runners and the DRC. While in the [finish line] chute performing my duties, I ran into an old Army buddy I hadn't seen since we left Fort Bragg in 1992. We got a chance to talk about our Army days and of course our running. Although this was my first time volunteering, it undoubtedly will be one hard to forget."
