Club Survey: As part of the membership drive, we have a membership survey on our website to help us improve the club and get feedback from members/local runners. Let us know what you think and what you would like the club to work on next year.
2025: Our 50th Anniversary: We are excited for the coming year and the celebration of CRC’s 50th anniversary. The club was founded by a group of Chico runners in 1975, and over the years founded the Almond Bowl and Bidwell Classic. These two races are major events in town and have raised thousands of dollars for local high school running programs at Chico High and Pleasant Valley.
