General InformationFARC has promoted running and race walking in central Jersey since January, 1983. We put on about 25 running events a year, plus maintain an active club that includes weekly group runs (Sundays), periodic meetings with guest speakers, newsletters and social events (baseball games, picnic, annual party). We are also big on kids races, plus award anywhere from 2 to 4 college scholarships each year, depending upon applicants. Many of our races are charity events, which typically donate over $25,000 each year to local charities.FARC itself is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization. We currently have over 400 memberships. Our members range from some serious competitors to the 'just stay in shape' runners, which includes most of us. Mailing Address:Freehold Area Running ClubP.O.
