welcome
The Delco Road Runners Club, in Delaware County, PA, is your link to road and trail running in the Philadelphia; Wilmington, DE; and South Jersey areas. Come and share a run.
Delco RRC has been running for fun and fitness since 1972 and is one of the oldest running clubs in the Philadelphia area. The club is a member of the Road Runners Club of America.
We are a large, inclusive group of runners, walkers, triathletes, and others fond of fitness. We have more than 200 members of all ages and abilities, and we have a fun run/walk schedule that covers six days of the week. Our yearly events calendar includes several open races and also the Delaware County High Schools X-C Championship and the Junior Development Track Meet for athletes age 18 and under. Weekly emails keep our members up to date, with such regular features as people news, racing times, and an extensive race calendar.
Frequently asked questions: We get many questions, by email and phone. Here's a link to find answers to FAQs.
