Rochester Active Sports Club is a multi-sport club designed to provide a framework for the support and development of sports such as cycling (MTB and road) and nordic skiing in South East Minnesota. The club is organized as a nonprofit organization in the State of Minnesota and has 501 (c)(3) status. The charter of the club allows the members to form additional groups to support other activities such as in-line skating etc. Most of the business of the club is conducted via e-mail and the internet as they provides rapid, inexpensive means of communication. RASC is strongly orientated towards active participation in endurance sports. Most of us would rather be out biking or skiing than in a meeting. With its strong emphasis towards endurance sports, many of the members actively compete in their sports. One of our primary goals is to build up active participation through coaching sessions and clinics to improve members skills in biking and skiing. We organize coaching sessions, ski events, bike races and regular bike rides. The coordinators were picked because they are very active in their sports and had been informally organizing many such events over the last few years.
We have an on-line registration available that handles all our membership categories and gives you full control over your membership details. If you do not wish to do an on-line payment, you must still complete the on-line form. You can then mail in your membership dues and your membership will be activated at that time.
If you wish to mail in membership payment, send the check (payable to RASC) to Rochester Active Sports Club, 3128 Lake Vista Drive NW, Rochester, MN 55901 (or within Mayo Clinic to Michael O'Connor at Charlton 1-225).
We have moved the registration forms for the RNST. They can now be found under the Rochester Nordic Ski Team tag on the left side.
RASC was one of 9 organizations/ people nominated for the 2010 Olmsted County: Live for Others - Healthy Community Award. Dave Greymont attended the reception in the Government Center on the 13th April 2010, and accepted the Certificate of Recognition on behalf of the club.
