Running has been an important part of the Salisbury – Rowan County community since the late 1970’s. The first race ever held in the Salisbury-Rowan County area was held on June 10, 1978 (Run For Your Heart 10K). Since that time, there have been too many races to count. One race, Salisbury Winter Flight, was originated in 1984 by Salisbury-Rowan Runners, and to date, remains a successful annual event.

The Salisbury-Rowan Runners Club exists to promote general fitness and health within our community by encouraging runners, walkers, and fitness enthusiasts.  Therefore, our mission is to promote a healthy lifestyle, support the running community and charitable causes by organizing, volunteering, and participating in running events in and around the Salisbury and Rowan County area.
