UMass Club Running

Welcome to the UMass Club Running MinuteFund page! We have a large group of diverse and passionate students who come together every day to stay fit, compete, and have fun! Each semester, we go to the NIRCA (National Intercollegiate Running Club Association) national championship meet; cross country in the fall and track and field in the spring. This year, the track nationals meet is in Olivet, Michigan, on the weekend of April 11th. We will be sending 16 athletes to represent our club and compete. This trip is very costly given our current budget, and we are looking for support to fund this amazing experience for the team! The money will also be used for track meets through the rest of the semester for our whole team to attend and for events next year. Our athletes train for months, even in these freezing temperatures, to race at competitions, and we need your help to get there! 

A Little Bit About Us

We are a group of over 50 runners that range in run in events from 60 meter dash all the way up to marathons. We also do several field events like high jump, long jump, and, new this year: throwing. We come together every day to run together. It is an amazing opportunity for students to achieve their fitness goals and make great friends. We compete in several cross-country, track and field, and road races throughout the year.
