Thanks for visiting the Anthracite Running Club official web page. We are a running club from Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania and also a member of the Road Runners Club of America. The purpose of this page is to inform runners about upcoming events in Schuylkill County,and to tell you something about Anthracite Running Club. Our club started in 1991 when some runners in our area wanted to start a running club to call ours, I am happy to say most who started from the begining are still with the club. We are a small club and that is fine with us! Our club also prints a newsletter that is sent to all members, so if you have a great race (or not so great) please e-mail us your race times. If you want to become a member of the Anthracite Running Club just e-mail us and we will send you an application. Don't forget anyone interested in running from 12 to 15 miles (or more) our club runs every Sunday morning at 7:30am in St.Clair (please e-mail for directions)All club members and non-club members are welcome.Anthracite Running Club also sponsors an area road race, The POW-MIA 5K held in Schuylkill Haven. We also have a annual summer picnic and christmas party.
