Frequently Asked Questions
Why are there dues?
Dues pay for a lot of what we do as a club. Here’s a break down of what the memberships help pay for.
Social, as a social member you help pay for and are given
A t-shirt
Access to any social events, including girls/guys nights, Pasta Dinners, Little Darby Corn Maze, Laser tag, and all other social gatherings
Competitive, as a competitive member you help pay for and are given
Everything included in the social membership
Participation in meets (xc or track depending on the season)
Subsidized jersey and hotel costs (members do not pay the whole price because the club pays for some too)
*All members are welcome to any practices, workouts, or lifting sessions.
Do I have to pay dues if I only want to come to practice?
No, you can attend practice for free! However, people who do not pay dues do not have access to the group me or any other events.
Can I still be in Running Club if I can’t come to practice?
Yes, practice is a good way to make friends, but you are not required to come to be in the club! Everything is optional, so you can do what works for you.
If I only want to compete in track, can I join in the fall?
Yes! We have a membership option just for people like you and you are welcome you to join in the fall. If you’re a runner, you can join the team for runs, or if you’re a sprinter, you can join the sprinters for their workouts. You can contact sprint captains Leah Bratton or Sean McGahan or check in the newsletter for more information about when and where to meet the sprinters!
Do I need a jersey to compete?
No. While our jerseys make us look really cool, they are not necessary to compete in our races.
