ShadowChase Running Club is a nonprofit organization that promotes running- and fitness-related activities in the greater Modesto area. During 2012, ShadowChase returned more than $65,000 back to the community with donations to several middle- and high-school running programs. As well as other organizations that benefit the health and well being of our community.

The ShadowChase Running Club does not discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, sex or age in admission into membership, services, treatment, or participation in its programs, race events or activities.
No person shall be excluded from participation in, or be denied the benefits of any service, or be subjected to discrimination because of race, color, nationality, religion, sex, age, disability.

Our members represent a broad range of fitness-related interests and abilities. Some jog an occasional mile, a few are accomplished marathoners. But most of us just like to get outside and run a leisurely pace at whatever distance catches our fancy that day. We even have walkers, people who jog with their canine campanions and baby joggers.

History:

ShadowChase Running Club was started in 1978 around December. Some of the early founders are Lew Mahew, John Lucas, Randy Siefkin, Al Stoll, Frank Bushakra, Mike Miller. They met a MJC Science building for regular meetings similar to what we do now. The name ShadowChase came from a group of guys who were running and saw their shadow's in front of them so they came up with the name ShadowChase.
