Samford Run Club

From the Samford directory, Sep 7, 2026

The Samford Run club will be a sports club that brings students together that share a passion for running. We all share the common love for the sport of running and strengthen that by working hard and loving one another. As a run club we will hold group practices a few times a week which will vary in distance and run type depending on personal race goals. In addition, we will have cross trainings, socials and Bible studies.Although, we share a love for running we will also strengthen our relationship with Christ and be servant minded. Through the reading of scripture and God- centered conversation. The goal of the Samford run club is to create a community of students with a combined passion for running and provide a forum for accountability and encouragement. Club members will race different distances from one mile up to a full marathon. The races will be destined at the beginning of the season and club members will know what races and distances they will participate in. This will allow for intentional training in group runs and individual runs though the week. As we sweat, travel and train together we will remain focused on the idea that working hard is a privilege. We will not feel as though hard work is a burden. Rather, we will continuously remind ourselves that we do not have too, but we get too. As we continue to train hard we will proudly represent Samford University. All in all, we all share the common bond for hard work and passion on the run and beyond.
