As a club member, you’ll become eligible for placings and prize money after running six races as a member. You can become a club member at any time, you don’t need to have run with us before.
Fees
Fees to run as a club members are:
- annual membership (fees in table below, paid by selecting button above. Fees are reduced for registrations from 1st July.)
- timing chip purchase (also paid above, $15 just once and keep the chip from year to year), and
- weekly race fees (standard $10 per race; students/pensioners $8 per race) – see below.
How to pay weekly race fees
The race fee can be paid up to 20 minutes before the scheduled race start time (usually 9 am). You can pay race fees online, or by card in-person at the van at the race.
Alternatively, you can prepay race fees when you pay your annual membership. This works out to be a discount if you run 18 or more races for the season.
