In furtherance of its goal, this association may hold races on the roads, trails, cross country or track, interval workouts, group runs and walks, social runs, lectures, clinics, meetings and other educational activities, and social events; publish a newsletter; make awards; and hold other activities or events as may be conducive to the encouragement of running and walking.
Other club objectives may include engaging in community activities, awarding scholarships to deserving college-bound students, publicizing by appropriate means the benefits of long distance running and walking, and coordinating with other agencies advocating these activities as a means to enhance physical fitness.
