RUN NNK was started in 2015 by a group of local runners to help support runners and walkers in the Northern Neck, and to promote running and walking as part of a healthy lifestyle. The club is growing, and now has more than 50 members! 2020 memberships and renewals are now being taken.
We welcome runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. Our goal is to provide camaraderie and encouragement to all; and to help competitive runners who wish to improve their performance.
We host group runs, the annual Run NNK Earth Day 5K, educational and training programs, beginners programs, and social events. We also seek to support community activities and events that promote physical fitness in both children and adults.
RUN NNK is a tax-exempt non-profit organization. We obtain our exempt status from our parent organization, Road Runners Club of America. Run NNK is your club.
Club meetings are generally held quarterly, and usually include an educational program. The meetings start at 6 pm and usually end by 7:15. The upcoming Meeting schedule is listed on the Calendar.
Earth Day 5K and School Challenge
As a club of runners, Run NNK has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Earth Day 5K & School Challenge. This decision has been made out of concern for our runners, volunteers, spectators, the community, and in conformance with the CDC and Commonwealth of Virginia State of Emergency Guidelines. No Postponement date for the race has been set, and at this point we are planning on continuing the race and challenge in 2021.
Participants have 3 options at this point: 1) Run NNK will issue a full refund for the $25 entry fee; 2) Participants can transfer their entry to the 2021 Race at no additional cost; or 3) Participants can donate their entry fee. Any donations will be added to the School Challenge prize money for 2021. Race T Shirts have not been ordered due to the uncertainty and will not be issued. We will be emailing all participants to inform them about these options.
Thanks everyone for your understanding during these unsettling weeks.
