FRIENDLY RUN CLUB
Meeting every Thursday at Hoodletown Brewing Co. at 6:30 pm. Rain or shine.
How it started...
Since the 9th of January, 2020, Friendly Run Club - FRC as the regulars call it - has been a social group that meets for a run or walk, and sometimes drinks and food at our host location, Hoodletown Brewing Co., in Dover, OH. We meet on Thursdays at 6:30 pm rain or shine in the Hoodletown parking lot (or foyer if the weather isn't cooperating). All runners and walkers are welcome. From walkers to Boston Marathon Qualifiers, our attendees represent the whole spectrum. What we all have in common is our interest in exercising and being social. You are welcome at FRC no matter if you need a training partner, want some support in starting your fitness journey, or enjoy having some friendly faces to chat with before you set off on your own.
​
In 2024, we decided to take FRC to the next level! We wanted to give people a nudge to join us on Thursdays while creating an opportunity to compete with friends or strangers while being rewarded for doing what you may be doing already: running, walking, lifting, biking, swimming, and running local races.

FRC STARS
Be social. Be competitive. Be rewarded.
FRC STARS is a rewards program that allows you to compete for monthly prizes for the most points scored each month (more on that in a minute). Both runners and walkers are welcome to join with separate podiums and leaderboards coming in 2025. What you get right now is the accumulation of your points each month to be used as real cash for items and products from Advancing Athletics and our wonderful partners!
​Once you purchase a membership, you will log the activities you completed each week. You earn points based on what activity you do and how long you do it. There are some rules and restrictions but typically the more you do, the more consistent you are, the harder you train, the more points you'll earn!​
