Welcome!

Hi, I’m Nanette Bauer, a long-time Glen Ellyn Runner and the Membership Chair for the club. First off, I’d like to thank you for considering our club. I think you’ll find our club to be fun, with a great mix of runners with various backgrounds and of all ages.

If you are new and considering membership, please reach out to me so we can set you up as a guest runner. If you are ready to join or renew, simply proceed to the registration page now.

If you have any questions, please contact us and I’ll be happy to answer your questions. We look forward to seeing you on the paths!
