Run Soleus Club takes pride in its commitment to maintain a welcoming, safe, and respectful environment for all runners.
This is a highly-organized and professionally trained running club in Marikina. The Code of Conduct was designed to set clear expectations about behavior and safety during our activities. Everyone is welcome to join RSC as long as they honor the CoC. Ignorance of the CoC shall excuse no one.
By establishing these guidelines, we aim to prevent potential misunderstandings, protect our members from abusers, and uphold high standards in sports training.
We’re reminding everyone to uphold this Code of Conduct as we remain a strong, respectful community where every runner, regardless of status or strength, feels safe and supported.
