Grove Park Running Club

We are Grove Park running/walking Club.  Our vision is an inclusive, welcoming community of runners and walkers who enjoy running and walking for the health of it - regardless of ability.  Our members are a bunch of avid runners and walkers who enjoy the comradery of running with like-minded people.  Someone in the group is always training for a 5k, 10k, marathon or triathlon - if you are looking for company for a long run, you will find someone to join you. Likewise, if you are just looking to start running and walking for fun and a little exercise, there are individuals here doing the same.  We are a very welcoming and laid back group of socially minded runners and walkers.

Our mission is to host a 6:00 pm run/walk every Tuesday of the year at Grove Park. Courses of a variety of distances are available each week.  The Grove Club welcomes regular attendees and visitors free of charge. There is an option to become a member for a nominal yearly fee. Members participate in our incentive program. This program rewards members with running related items based on attendance.

Additionally, the Club meets every Sunday at 8am for runs - locations vary with a pre-published schedule.  Distance and pace varies with runners and walkers doing anywhere from 2 miles to 10+ miles.

Not only does this Club run/walk, we also focus on giving back to local organizations and charities.  We support People’s Place, as well as volunteer with the Adopt-a-Highway Program.  We do an annual fundraiser and award a scholarship to support athletes and scholars in the Cape Henlopen School District beyond their high school years.

Doesn’t all this sound awesome!!!!  Come join us!
