Wilmington Road Runners Club
Founded in 1977, the Wilmington Road Runners Club is one the oldest continuously operating clubs in North Carolina. Our 400+ members run the gamut from speedy racers to occasional joggers, bonded by the simple pleasure of putting one foot ahead of the other on the roads and trails of New Hanover County—and beyond.
Our mission is to Build, Grow, and Support the running community of Wilmington.

Member Highlight - Dennis Deasy
It’s the crack of dawn. Most people are still asleep, or if they’re awake, they’re having a leisurely cup of coffee or eating breakfast.
A fit man does a series of leg swings and dynamic stretches by his car as he prepares for a Saturday morning run. He’ll run three to four miles or more, depending on his training schedule, on the dirt trails of Brunswick Forest before circling back to join the others in the Saturday morning group for their usual 8-10 mile weekly long run. This man is Dennis Deasy; he’s in his 70s and has been preparing to run his first marathon since 1991, his 47th one.
