Founded in 1983, the Essex Running Club takes pride in being one of New Jersey’s friendliest running clubs whether you’re new to running, looking to join a competitive team or somewhere in between.
For over 40 years, we have embraced people of all ages and abilities – health conscious runners and walkers seeking to get in shape, stay motivated and improve their fitness; competitive runners interested in training, racing, and team events; and adventurous trail runners, ultra runners, and multisport athletes.
What brings and keeps us together, besides exercise, is information, advice, and support; fun and exciting events; camaraderie, friendship, and community. ERC is both a running club and a social club!
We keep you informed with our monthly newsletter, web site, Facebook group and Instagram feed. We keep you motivated with our club meetings and social events. And we keep you running with our group runs, track workouts and USATF racing team.
The Essex Running Club welcomes you! Come run with us and share the road with friends!
