Join the RRC now

The RRC is unique as an athletics club in that its membership is spread throughout the UK and we do not have the social structure of a local club. Indeed we expect our members to remain membership of their first-claim club if they already have one.

Many runners however do join the RRC as their first-claim club and we welcome them.

You can join as a single member for £12.50 p.a. or joint membership for £15.00 p.a. (2 people at the same address).

Benefits of joining the RRC

The RRC is a national club, founded in 1952, and we represent all road runners. The club has played a major part in the development of road running and we are proud of our history, but also forward-looking.

You will be sent three copies each year of our journal, Roadrunner, which contains a wide range of articles and information on road-running topics, with its main focus being the activities of RRC members.

As a member of the RRC, you can become affiliated (for £5) to your national athletics body, and then you will save the non-affiliated fee for entry to races. You canl soon recover your RRC membership fee!   

You will belong to a national club that can influence national policy.

You will be included in an insurance policy that covers RRC members against road traffic accidents whilst training, racing or helping at a race. The policy covers paid-up RRC members against death or disablement if struck or otherwise injured by a road vehicle of any description while walking, running or standing on the roadway or on a footpath or pavement, either in races or for training purposes, or whilst acting as coach, official or attendant during a race or training session. Benefits under the scheme are a capital sum of £10,000 for permanent disablement or £100 per week for a maximum of 104 weeks for temporary total disablement. Temporary partial disablement is not covered.

You can enter our Championship races at distances from 5 km to 100 km.

You will have access to a sophisticated and much-copied individual Standards scheme, that can provide targets for your running as well as certificates and badges for achieving the various standards.

You will have access to a very wide network of Local Representatives, experienced runners who can give advice about training and racing in their local areas.
