Mission Statement
French version to follow
The Phoenix Runner’s
Club was created to foster and promote distance running for pleasure,
fitness, competition and sportsmanship. It is our intention to serve as
a network for socializing and as a forum for discussing matters affecting
the interests of runners, and to advocate on matters of interest and concern
to runners in their pursuit and enjoyment of running.
We are a diverse group, from the pleasure runners to the competitive.
The club has members of all ages from the teenagers who run our cross-country
races to the Masters who take part in both short and long distance runs.
The Phoenix Runner’s Club is open to all competitive runners, of
varying abilities, from all backgrounds.
The purpose
of The Phoenix Runner’s Club is:
• To promote and conduct
races or other running activities and to do all such things conducive
to the encouragement of competitive running and better physical fitness
for all individuals of all ages and both sexes.
• To bring out the runner in all of us.
Our Commitment
The Phoenix Runner’s Club
is committed to the limitless potential in all of us and to reveal the
generosity of the human spirit through social and competitive running.
Our Mission
The mission of The Phoenix Runner’s
Club is to help all members achieve their running potential in a supportive
team atmosphere.
This mission
will be achieved by:
• Providing an atmosphere
to enable any runner to set and achieve realistic long-term goals,
• Providing a structured, healthy and supportive environment in
which to train.
• Providing guidance and motivation from our fellow team members.
• Providing timely information on our club's workouts and upcoming
team races.
• Providing a variety of social events to help maintain and build
team spirit.
This mission statement is not carved in stone, it is a living document.
If you have any suggestions as to what should or should not be in it,
or more importantly if you feel the club is not living up to this statement,
please contact us.
