Group run at Ashley Reservoir
We welcome new faces – you don’t have to be a member to see what we’re all about – but we ask that you drop us a note at pvwrc1@gmail.com so that we can have someone on hand to greet you.
Saturday Group Walk/Runs
Come walk or run with us. We’ve been out running at Forest Park, Ashley Reservoir, Easthampton, Westfield and Southwick Rail Trails. Contact us and we’ll let you know where we’re going to be. We would love to have you run or walk with us before you become a member if you would like to meet us first!
Fun Runs
Fun Runs, hosted by members, are held on some Sunday mornings or afternoons, and are usually followed by refreshments. Members will be notified by email with the date, time, and location. Please check the weekly member newsletter or closed Facebook page for details! These are members-only events as they are hosted at our homes.
Walk to Run Clinics
We offer an annual 10-week walk-to-run spring clinic that will train you to run non-stop for 30 minutes. Your first 5K is just around the corner! The clinic usually begins in early Spring but check the website or Facebook page for an announcement with specific dates. REGISTER HERE FOR 2026!
Graduation Race
The Club picks a local race to support as a goal for the Spring Clinic members to run for their 5k completion run. We meet afterwards for post-race refreshments and snacks to cheer their accomplishment! The 2026 Race this year is the Big Run on June 3rd.
General Meetings
The Club has General meetings two or three times a year, with Club business discussed, sometimes followed by a speaker of interest. Elections are held at the first meeting of the calendar year.
Board Meetings
The Club Board as five positions- President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and At-Large. Elections are staggered so that continuity is maintained. Each term is approximately 2 years long. President, Vice President and Treasurer are elected in odd calendar years with At-Large and Secretary elections occurring in even years. The Board meets quarterly.
