Why Battle at the Border?

The days are getting longer, the air is getting warmer and the streets are getting fuller. And you know what that means, yes, another Boarder Battle against our northern rivals in Wilmington. We won our first match showing the group spirit as taught by our fearless leader, Roscoe Griffin. But last year Wilmington came back with a vengeance, changing their club rules to make participation a near necessity, while we were perhaps too complacent. 

This year we need everyone to come out for the most fun race of the year and show what a great club we are a part of with the Grand Strand Running Club. We aren't looking for the fastest of the fast ... we're looking for the club to come together as a group. Every runner, regardless of speed, counts as a member of the Grand Strand Running Club. Your paces don't count. We need strength in numbers and unity is the key to our success. Join for a fun run and an opportunity to bond with all members in the club.

The focus of this race is not a competition. The Border Battle was created to bring the GSRC together as a united front, displaying our uniformity and strength as a group of individuals with a common interest. Our number one goal is to gather our members together to illustrate the club's overall interest in running and friendship.

So mark your calendar, cancel your vacation plans and get out your war paint or tutu, whatever showing spirit might be for you! Join us for a fun run, good conversation and refreshing popsicles! This is our opportunity to get to know each and every member, regardless of your location in the Grand Strand. But most importantly, show up, because we all want you there. Win or lose, we do this together!
