The ARE Archives

Welcome to the "all about" the ARE page.

The Albany Running Exchange formed on the campus of the University at Albany in Albany, New York in the fall of 2002. The articles on the left can provide more insight into the history of the organization.

The number one priority of the ARE is to serve as an exchange for individuals to find running partners. Our members page provides a terrific place to do this, as does simply attending ARE events and meeting others in the club.

Many of the club members enjoy distance running, and we've had over a dozen members run their marathons with the club. The ARE also has a penchant for trails, and we can typically be found running on them all summer long, as well as strapping on the snowshoes come winter (or October to April depending on the Albany weather!)

If there's one thing that we DO NOT stress, it is competition. The ARE is committed to the cause of running as a lifelong pursuit, and we have members who run the 5k under 15 minutes to nearly 40 minutes. In short, running is social activity for us, and if you enjoy both running and having a good time, then join us sometime!

 

Thanks for visiting!
