The Mebane Running Club began last summer with a group of recreational runners who wanted to meet some neighbors and have fun while working out. The club meets each Saturday morning in front of Sweet Tooth Heaven on Clay Street to run approximately 3-5 miles. New members of all fitness levels are welcome.
