The Finger Lakes Runners Club is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization focused on promoting physical fitness and health through running. Based in Ithaca and drawing members from all over the Finger Lakes region, our club is dedicated to the love of running, as a sport and as a way of life — for fun, for fitness, for camaraderie, and for every person regardless of ability, age, ethnicity, gender, nationality, race, religion, or any other demographic.

Membership is not required to run in our races, but as an FLRC member, you can:

• Receive a discount on most FLRC races
• Participate in workout groups and the FLRC Family Running Program
• Gain access to Barton Hall's indoor track in the winter
• Vote for FLRC board members
• Support the club's mission to promote a healthy lifestyle through running

We hope you’ll come run with us! And please volunteer at a race—our races only happen because people like you are generous with donating your time. To learn about what’s involved with race volunteer tasks and what other skills would be useful, check out the FLRC Volunteer Tasks and Attributes working document.

FLRC uses a volunteer coordination tool called Helper Helper. It's designed to make it easy for members of our community to sign up for volunteer opportunities and for race directors to communicate with volunteers. One of our perennial goals is to reduce friction in volunteering and make the overall experience more fun for all. Please sign up with Helper Helper and check out the current volunteer opportunities.
