FAQs

Are you a for-profit group?

The STRC is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. We have an all-volunteer Board of Directors that keeps the running club functioning smoothly.


Which area is the Sierra TrailBlazers Running Club located?

The STRC is a volunteer-run running group (pun intended). Anyone can join, but most of our members reside in Grass Valley/Nevada City, Auburn, and the surrounding communities in Placer and Nevada counties. We tend to do our shorter runs close by in the Grass Valley/Nevada City area, and we have the longer training runs anywhere from Lake Tahoe to the Auburn State Recreation Area to the San Francisco Bay Area (2-3 hours away). Our Board Meetings are held in Grass Valley, California.
