Our club was originally the Irvine chapter of the Loeshhorn's Running Club, which had clubs affiliated with John Loeshhorn's chain of running stores. When the Irvine shop closed in 1984, the chapter became the South Coast Roadrunners. The Fountain Valley Loeshhorn's shop eventully became the first Snail's Pace store, and as that chain has grown, so has its club. We have, and always will be, "cousins" to the Snails Pace club, which is why our relationship is warm and we have many members in common.
In 1993, we began the tradition of having an annual gala banquet and presenting awards to members for service and accomplishments. Many of our awards are named in honor of distinguished members who were instrumental or inspirational in getting our Club off the ground and making it what it is.
