CORK’s Mission
The Central Oregon Running Klub’s mission is to promote health and fitness through running and to provide an inclusive culture that strengthens the local running community through the support of key community running events, integration with community businesses, and providing running centric activities for youth through masters runners. Since 1976, CORK has been involved in race promotion, trail maintenance, weekly running groups, and coaching our youth to become State Champions and lifelong runners.
CORK is a running club that is welcoming and inclusive of all runners regardless of your age, ability, race, or gender. We are here to run, support each other, and offer activities that are fun for anyone who loves to run. If you have ideas that would make CORK a better club for you, please consider attending one of our board meetings (open to all) or even join the board. We are always looking for new ideas to better serve the running community.

Interested in volunteering with CORK?
We’re always looking for runners that love connecting with the larger running community to help make it better. If you’re interested in volunteering with CORK as a youth coach, board member or run leader, fill out the application below so that we know you’re interested and can connect with you.
There are a few commitments that come with being a board member but it’s a rewarding position and allows you to plan events, meet new runners, and be an integral part of the local running community.
