Donnelly Running Club

We are a community of individuals who are committed to the steady, daily improvement of ourselves and the world around us.

Endurance athletics is the uniting force that brings us together, provides opportunities to upgrade our minds and bodies, and channels financial support to charitable causes that are dear to our hearts.

Passion is the fuel that drives us: to take the next step, to break through barriers, to make the impossible, possible.

 

THE TRAINING

The DRC has partnered with Champ City to provide a world-class training program consisting of exercise planning, personalized nutrition, and elite coaching to our team. Each program is custom-tailored to each teammate’s current health status, available resources (i.e. health clubs, home gyms, or even no exercise equipment at all), and unique health and fitness goals.

 

THE EVENTS

We have four OFFICIAL DRC events in 2023, and many more UNOFFICIAL events for fun and training purposes.  See the Events Page for more details.

 

DRC KIDS

We were inspired to see how our efforts to get healthy and run the NYC marathon have had a positive impact on our children. Due to overwhelming demand, we have created the DRC Kids program. We will identify various 5K’s throughout the year to run in and create memories with our children. The program culminates in the 5K Kids Race at the NYC Marathon in November. We love that our kids have caught the DRC bug!

 

DRC HELPS

Charitable Giving is an important part of all that we do. This year, we are raising money for the following organizations: the FDNY, Organization for Autism Research, and the Doug Flutie Foundation for Autism. The DRC Helps program will provide volunteering opportunities at a major endurance event this year to help other athletes as they reach their personal goals. We will also volunteer at a soup kitchen this holiday season.
