About the RMEC: The Rocky Mount Endurance Club is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization. This means no individual officer or members are allowed to profit from any dues, races fees, sponsorship contributions, etc. We are comprised of a group of runners in Rocky Mount North Carolina. We welcome any runner regardless of your experience or ability level.
Who we are? If we were not wearing our running gear, you would never know what we have in common:
- We vary in age from late 20's to 60's
- Our pace ranges from low 7:00 to 12:00
- We have men and women
- We have newlyweds, parents, and grandparents
What to I get out of it? You will get out what you put in to it. The RMEC began as a marathon training team when we took 21 people to the Richmond Marathon in 2006. Many of these people never dreamed they would run a marathon in their lives, but working as a team, following a plan, and staying dedicated drove as all to the finish line.
Maybe a marathon is not you goal. Maybe you just want to stay active. Maybe you want to train for the First Carolina State Bank Half Marathon on 11/22. Whatever your goal, it is more fun with friends. Come join us for a Saturday run one weekend and get to meet the group. If you have joined us before. . . now is a great time to come back and say hello!
Have questions? Shoot us an email, and we will quickly be in touch.

The RMEC is simply a terrific group of people from varied backgrounds who share a love for fitness, challenge, and commitment to the community. They are also some of my best friends.
ReplyDeleteCome out and join us !
My wife and I joined RMEC last May with the hopes of running a 1/2 marathon. We had both been walking some for exercise--and had started jogging a little bit on our treadmill. The RMEC team took us under their wing with a training plan, encouragement, guidance, and friendship. We not only completed a 1/2 marathon, but beyond our wildest dreams completed a full marathon at Richmond with the rest of the RMEC team.
ReplyDeleteIf you've just been thinking about it, or are just starting out running and are wanting to stay active, you will surely benefit--in many ways--by coming out and joining with this awesome group of people.

I am one of those people that would NEVER have trained and completed a marathon without the RMEC group. Since that time some of the RMEC members have encouraged me to train with them and compete in triathlons. RMEC is great for motivation & support, finding training "partners" or general workout partners and making new friends!
ReplyDeleteIt's so much more fun to share running with other runners! You could not ask for a more inclusive, open and welcoming group of folks. If you are interested in serious training, there are members who share your passion. However, if you're just getting started you'll find plenty of RMEC members just like you. And if you're just looking to run with folks, this is the group!
ReplyDeleteYou'll only be new the first time!!!
