Welcome to the Sparta Runners Club!
No. The two runners pictured above were not being caught by the police. They were simple showing how to maximize your work out by doing arm raises while running. We are a talented bunch.
The Sparta Runners Club, Inc. (SRC) is a group of runners and joggers from Sparta
and the surrounding areas of New Jersey. Our charter is to provide a way
for you to meet with other recreational and competitive runners of all
abilities to train, exchange information, provide support and develop
friendship, fellowship and camaraderie.
Quick note about this site: The Club Calendar
and Gallery utilize Google features and will open in new windows.
Anywhere we have a link to a page that is not SRC, it should open in a
new window as well.
Dressing Right for the Weather
Okay - we aren't really sure if it's spring, fall, summer or winter.
It appears that Mother Nature is just winging it on a day-to-day basis!
Not to worry! Runner's World has put together a list of what-to-wear
regardless of She tosses our way.
Note: on very windy days, you may need to dress warmer and don a wind
shell (jacket). Also, remember exposed skin is vulnerable to frost bite,
so make sure you can quickly get inside to warm-up.

2012 Club Marathon Weekend
Every year the club looks for a destination Marathon and Half-Marathon Weekend where we pile into cars or trains
and schelp to a "nearby" location
for a weekend of running.
Past destinations have included
the NJ Marathon,
Marine Corps Marathon, and the Philadelphia Marathon.
This year we are treking up to Cape Cod to participate in the Cape Cod Marathon Running Weekend: October 27-28, 2012.

Some of us are doing the Half Marathon on Saturday, and some the Full Marathon on Sunday... and we have a couple resident looneys doing the both races as part of the Clam Chowdah Challenge! Those not racing will be cheering their friends on from the side lines.
