The Olathe Running Club was founded in 1980 by a small group
of Olatheans who were interested in promoting fitness at a local
level.

Worried you can’t keep up with the pack? The Olathe Running
Club offers running programs for all skill sets from walkers
to full marathoners. We welcome runners from the entire Johnson County area.
Club members include walkers as well as those that win
their age group in local races. However our Wednesday and
Saturday Runs target new, beginning runners and prospective new
members. We hope you will join us! We keep the runs
short (3-6mi) and keep the pace easy. We start at 6:30pm
Wed and 7:00am Sat. You
will find at least one board member at each run to welcome any
new people and answer any questions you may have.
We will try to have water, cups, membership brochures,
etc. available. And most importantly you are welcome to eat
together with us afterwards (refueling is important!) and talk
about running.
If you are training toward a specific goal; distance or
time such as a Marathon in 4 hours, etc. and need a more intense,
longer work out or specific training we encourage you to participate
in our 2010 marathon training program.
Monthly meetings are the first Monday of the month at The
Pizza Shoppe, 736 W Park St, Olathe, KS 66061
