Group Rules and Code of Conduct
Colonial Road Runners is a running club based on the South Shore of Massachusetts committed to promoting and encouraging running as a recreational and competitive activity. We provide opportunities to all of our members and community at large for training, coaching and racing and act as a resource for all running activities. We engage in community activities and promote physical fitness and health through running. We are committed to gender-expansive policies and LGBTQIA+ inclusion.

We welcome people from all communities, and we are LGBTQIA+ friendly. This policy is not meant to outline all interpersonal relationships and interactions, but rather to lay out the basic principles of decency that we expect from our runners and that our runners can expect from the Club.
