About Us

The Rebels are a Sacramento-based club formed in 1994 by a handful of local runners who liked training and racing together. We now have over 100 members, both newcomers to the sport as well as those with over 20 years of running experience. As Mark Hicks, club President, said in a recent newspaper interview, “We wanted something that was more competition oriented without the politics of a big club. I had no idea it would grow like this.” The name “Rebels” fits both the club’s founding spirit and it’s ongoing philosophy of training hard, racing often, and always having a good time.
The River City Rebels Running Club is an affiliate member of the RRCA. Through the RRCA, we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
