PRC Weekend

Pelkey Running Club Weekend was created for club members to get together and build community while taking on a race in a new city each year. As part of the weekend, we share meals, do some sightseeing, run a race (obviously), and score exclusive gear to commemorate the weekend.

Last December, we rallied around John as he ran his first half marathon at the St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend. What we took home more than anything was togetherness. So for 2026, we’re heading back to Memphis to do it again, and this time we’re bringing double the crew. Over 50 runners will join us December 4-6, with most of the group taking on the half marathon.

We’re running for the kids and families of St. Jude, who never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food. This year, our team goal is to raise $20,000. Whether you’re lacing up with us in Memphis or cheering from home, you can help us get there by donating to our team fundraising page:

Every dollar goes toward St. Jude’s mission to end childhood cancer.

Don’t forget to follow along on Instagram for updates all weekend long!

Looking ahead: PRC Weekend 2027 is already in the works. Stay tuned for more details coming soon!
