About the Tucker Running Club


You may have seen some of our Tucker Running Club (TRC) shirts at various running events around metro Atlanta.  The Tucker Running Club is for those who run or walk in, around or through Tucker, and wish to socialize with others who do the same.  If you're interested in learning more about the TRC, come to any of our regular group runs.  All abilities and paces are welcome!  

As of June 2019:  We have regular runs on Monday & Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm. There are also regular morning runs; Sunday at 7:15 am & 8:30 am, Monday at 5:30 am, Tuesday & Thursday at 6:00 am, and Friday at 7:00 am.  Some of these change with the seasons, and it's difficult to maintain an accurate schedule on this site.   

We usually have enough people at each run to have three or four subgroups at various paces:  

1) the "rocket" subgroup typically runs at 8 - 9 min / mile paces (maybe faster?!),
2) a couple of subgroups in the "middle of the pack", one at a 10 - 11 min / mile pace and a second at 12 - 13 min / mile pace, and
3) slower runners and walkers in the "healthy activity" subgroup, typically 15 - 20 min / mile pace.

Best of all, there are no dues or fees!  On occasion, one of our members will arrange to make a new batch of TRC T-shirts, which are sold at cost, typically around $15 - but there is no obligation to buy a shirt.

If you're on Facebook and would like to join the Tucker Running Club Facebook page, please introduce yourself to any member at one of our group runs, and one of the administrators will add you to the Facebook group.
