Every major city has a track club and, being a runner, I usually join eventually. This is one of the best ones I’ve ever participated in. They have a lot of creative events, such as the annual fun run/potluck I participated in this morning. Most of the races/fun runs they sponsor are either free or minimal cost($ 3-$ 5). To encourage kids to run, kids 10 and under are free. In my experience, every child that runs gets a ribbon at the end of a race. They also list all the running events in Las Vegas so if you are looking for a race to run, it’s a good website to check out. Membership is $ 20/year but you don’t need to be a member to participate. However, you need to be a member to get credit for the Gran Prix Championship Series which gives members points for races and events they participate in or volunteer for. At the end of the year, you can win running apparel and other prizes! The track club also has a variety of training runs throughout the week. A wide variety of ages and abilities participate in the training runs, fun runs, and races so there is always someone to run with(or compete with) regardless of your abilities. For those taking up running as a New Year’s resolution, this might be a good resource to help keep the resolution.
