SPACE CITY RUNNING CLUB
Houston, we have a running club.
About SCRC
Space City Running Club is a premier post-collegiate distance running team dedicated to fostering high-performance athletes and facilitating Olympic development. Our primary objective is to unite Houston's elite distance runners, providing unwavering support towards their athletic aspirations while fostering a strong connection within the local running community.
As part of our commitment, the club organizes weekly coached track sessions at the state-of-the-art Memorial Park track. These sessions are open to individuals of all skill levels, offering an invaluable opportunity for Houston's running enthusiasts to train alongside some of the city's swiftest athletes and gain insights into their techniques and strategies.
Our overarching ambition is to cultivate a robust cohort of Houston athletes who can proudly represent our community on the starting line of the US Olympic Marathon Trials every four years. With the collaborative backing of our members, we strive to propel talented individuals towards their Olympic dreams while nurturing a culture of excellence and camaraderie within Space City Running Club.

Elite Development
At SCRC, we are committed to nurturing the growth of our local elite athletes, including both established high performers and promising up-and-comers. Rather than segregating these athletes, they actively participate in SCRC group sessions, where they not only train alongside the community but also serve as mentors and leaders across all skill levels.
Membership in SCRC-Elite is by invitation only and is granted based on a combination of race performances and active engagement with SCRC community group sessions. This ensures that our elite development group comprises individuals who not only demonstrate exceptional athletic ability but also embody the values of camaraderie and support within our running community.
