Joining ARC
Try us out for free - we're confident you'll be back!

Is Aldridge Running Club for you? Many members have only one regret on joining - that they didn't do it earlier! This is a friendly club that welcomes runners (and aspiring runners) of all abilities.

There's no charge for your first two weeks, while you get to know us. After that our membership fees would apply (see information below). Fees are pro-rated if joining part way through a year - ARC's membership year runs from January to December.

Come along on a Tuesday night at 6.45-7.00 and ask to speak to a Committee Member. Alternatively, Contact Us and we will arrange for a member to greet you and select an appropriate group to run with. You do not have to be at any particular level to join - there will be someone to run with you whatever your running experience. Please download and complete our Safety Guidance Form and bring it with you on your first evening.

Please note at present we are not able to accept new members under the age of 18.
