Welcome to the Burlington Runners Club website!
The Burlington Runners Club is an organization for runners of all abilities. It was founded in 1973 by local citizens who shared an interest in the sport of running. With over 200 members ranging in ages from 15 to 75 (actively running), the BRC Club is thriving within the heart of Burlington, Ontario. The Club is a social organization, a powerful charity club, a supportive competitive running team, a successful corporation - and, in all respects, a vital part of the City of Burlington.
