The Board of Directors meetings take place the first Wednesday of the month and are open to all members. A bi-monthly newsletter keeps members informed about area races and club activities. The BRC co-sponsors an average of ten races per year and holds three of its own fund raising events: Manatee River Run 5 Miler in Emerson Point Park, Palmetto in late December; De Soto 5K Run in downtown Bradenton in late April; and the Heritage Harbour 10K in east Bradenton in early April. Each year we award scholarships to Manatee County high school Cross Country & Track distance runners. Click here for scholarship details.
Club membership is open to all interested parties including walkers, joggers, non-competitive runners, biathletes, triathletes, and competitive runners regardless of age, sex or athletic ability. Experienced runners and coaches are available and willing to help beginners get started. Club dues are $20 per year for individuals and $30 for families. If you want to improve your current level of fitness and meet the best looking and most interesting people in Manatee County, contact any club officer for more information.

Have some fun and join the Bradenton Runners Club!
