Consider joining WCRC for a Saturday morning group run! We meet outside the door of the YMCA on Chestnut Street every Saturday at 7:30AM. We say hello and then run in the Borough at our own paces.
RECENT EVENTS
WCRC Holiday Party
Fun was had by all at our annual holiday party in January. Many noteworthy stories were shared about past events, and many new memories were created. Thank you to our hosts, Dan and Marie Holland!
Yori’s Bakery Run (2023)
A hearty group of runners came out on a rainy Saturday morning in December for the Club’s annual Bakery Run. After a 3-5 mile run around the Borough we enjoyed delicious donuts, hot coffee and good company at Yori’s Bakery.
Hanging of the Greens (2022)
In November Club members helped decorate downtown West Chester in the annual Hanging of the Greens event. Volunteers and shop owners alike decked out downtown businesses with pine roping and red bows.
Yori’s Bakery Run (2021)
What a great time the 2021 Bakery Run proved to be. Granted donuts and coffee were involved, but without the efforts that we put into keeping the Club viable, each of us has a little less in our lives. Thanks for the commitment and persistence that each of you has shown over the last several years. We’ve aided the local community, sustained friendships, and brought together people who otherwise would not have known one another. If that isn’t fulfilling a mission statement, I don’t know what more we could do. Peace and good health to all of you. ~Dave Keefe, WCRC President
Hanging of the Greens (2021)
On November 20th volunteers from WCRC participated in the annual Hanging of the Greens by decking out storefronts in downtown West Chester with pine roping and bows. Thank you to everyone who helped bring the holiday spirit to West Chester!

Hanging of the Greens (2020)
