Club South
Runners
(CSR),
organized in 1977, is a nonprofit organization whose primary purpose is
the promotion and encouragement of running for physical fitness and
sport. The membership is comprised of men, women, and children of all
ages representing a wide range of running experience. CSR-sponsored
events range from road races, fun runs, fitness clinics, and social
events, to cross country runs and track meets. Proceeds from CSR races
and membership fees are put back into the club to purchase or replace
equipment, print and mail race schedules and information to members, and
to purchase awards for scheduled races. Volunteers do all club
promotions and race
management, and run the club's internal
affairs. |
