There are many advantages of running with a club. Our group almost always includes others at your pace. You run farther and faster with less effort while with other runners. Trading conversation and training advice is always helpful. You will formulate and attain your goals with the help of the group. Come out and see what it is all about before joining the club if you prefer. We are a friendly group of people united by our common interest in running!
The Wednesday Night Run is our central club event. The Raritan Valley
Road Runners have met weekly since 1983 for an unbroken streak of consecutive
Wednesday night runs! Come join us at 6:30 p.m.
Every Saturday morning, we meet in Johnson Park in Piscataway for a group run.
During Daylight Saving Time, these runs will be starting at 8 a.m. from Grove 5, just south of Landing Lane. Runners should arrive by 7:50 a.m. for the 8 a.m. start.
During Standard Time, these runs start at 9 a.m. from the Zoo parking lot (Grove 2), north of Landing Lane and the Route 18 bridge.
Along with weekly runs, we also help support and run several races throughout the year. These include our Summer Series XC Races and the East Brunswick Road Races.
Dinnner After Most Wednesday Night Runs
Run early? Work late? Even if you don't do the Wednesday Night Run you can meet us out for dinner in the New Brunswick area for good food, drink, and friends.
Breakfast after Every Saturday Towpath RunAfter each saturday morning run, many runners go out to either Somerset Diner or Neubies in New Brunswick. See the yahoo group to see where we are going this week. Food, Drink, and Socializing After Every Summer Series RaceThe evenings of the Summer Series mean good times, on and off the cross-country course! Hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza and beer. Better than a baseball game any day! |

Annual Awards BanquetEvery February we cater a semi-formal annual awards banquet with music and dancing. We honor outstanding club members, service to the sport even outside of our club, and celebrate our accomplishments as a club. See the photos... |
Quarterly General Membership MeetingsAt our Quarterly Membership Meetings, the board updates all the members on all the status of the club. In addition there is some form of entertainment that ranges from talent shows to guest speakers to member race stories. And there is always plenty of food to fill you up. See the photos from the September 2008 Meeting and Talent show. |
An RVRR tradition - we preview the Midland Run course on the Saturday of the weekend before the event. After the run we have brunch at a members home.
Following the Midland Run, the club puts together a picnic and party at Mooreland Farms, arguably the most beautiful race site in NJ. If you have nonrunning members of your family and the kids, or other signifigants, this is the event to bring them to!
You don't have to run a step of the 0-34 miles this day could offer you. Come to the picnic after the race, in Johnson Park. Always a great afternoon of relaxing, eating, drinking, and new friends.
