Adult Memberships are $55 per year and a Youth Membership (ages 13-16) is $30 per year. Youth runners must be accompanies by a parent/guardian to all runs. They must also be able to keep pace with their chosen pace group.

A membership fee allows CBRC to remain independent and provide more services and events for our runners. 

We welcome anyone who would like to run with us at any time during the year. We do ask that you register for the runs so we know how many and who will be attending. You will also be asked at registration to check that you have read and acknowledge our event waiver.

Founded in 1958, the Road Runner Clubs of America (RRCA) is the largest and oldest national association of runners and running organizations dedicated to growing the sport of running.

As a RRCA member, CBRC is able to take advantage of affordable insurance rates to protect our runners, and thus offer a wide range of runs and activities.

Runners come from all walks of life and we are committed to maintaining an inclusive environment for everyone. We celebrate diversity--of background, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, pace, and body type. All runners deserve to belong. We do not tolerate discrimination of any kind. Our club is a place for community and acceptance, not division and hate. 

Everyone has a role to play in ensuring that we all feel safe and welcome, and we are accountable to ourselves and to each other to keep it that way.
