I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

The Birmingham Track Club sponsors or sanctions many local races (in the Birmingham, Alabama area) and keeps its members informed of upcoming races, training runs, race results, social events, etc. through our monthly newsletter ‘THE VULCAN RUNNER’ and on www.birminghamtrackclub.com BTC members also merchandise discounts at local merchants like the Trak Shak. Running with the BTC is a great way to meet other runners and stay informed of running events in the area. We hope that you will join us as we promote individual and community fitness through running. We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to be a member of the Birmingham Track Club or to renew your existing membership.Our main website is here: http://www.birminghamtrackclub.com

My Interests

Running and socializing!

I'd like to meet:

Whether you are a new resident in the Birmingham metro area, here for just a short time or new to the running lifestyle all together, the BTC (Birmingham Track Club) will help you get off that counch and running! If you are already a runner, but new to the Birmingham area running community, you’ll benefit from the opportunities given to you by the BTC "New Runners Society" (NRS) to meet other runners and find running & training partners and/or groups that are at your desired level.If you are new to running altogether, you’ll benefit from all of the above plus you will be given information and training that will help you grow your passion for a running lifestyle. Any BTC sponsored socials (pub runs, karaoke, group dinners, bowling nights, End-Of-Year Party), runs or races are open to Birmingham Track Club members and non-members alike. We encourage BTC members to come to these events not only to participate themselves, but to support new runners and to share their experiences, success and even failures.The BTC’s weekly runs are designed to allow many different running levels to participate at the same time. The NRS has 2 "run captains" at each BTC run who not only know the routes but can also help anyone with their pacing as well as answer any questions that may arise. No one is ever left behind while running and no embarrassing attention is given to anyone. WE SUPPORT EACH OTHER! This is not about speed but about covering a distance.Are you ready to hit the road? Weekly runs for new runners occur every week. You are cordially invited to come to them and start running with us. Feel free to contact us for further information and also add us as your MySpace friend!
