Adderbury Running Club

A key aim of the Adderbury Running Club (ARC) is to promote good health through fitness. Consequently, we are keen to support runners of all ages, abilities and varying interests. ARC acts as a matching forum where runners can connect with runners of similar ability and interest. Some prefer road running; others prefer off-road runs along footpaths, bridle ways and tow paths crossing as few roads as possible; and then there are others who participate in triathlons. ARC is affiliated to England Athletics and often fields a team in races in nearby towns and villages in Oxfordshire and neighbouring counties.

So what types of membership are we proposing? Active  and Social Members.

Social Members are those who join in runs during the week (often a Tuesday or Thursday early evening) or a morning over the weekend. You are not expected to run every time – only when it suits you and you want some company or to improve your running. Your challenge is likely to enter the annual Half or the Ten Run in July – 9th July this year. And importantly Social members like to socialise: coming to the Runners Hour at the Bell Inn in Adderbury on the third Thursday of the Month at 8pm; participate in a quarterly club event eg, on the Day of Dance this year. Social members could also be members of other running clubs. Cost £5 per year.  Our Club year starts on 1st April. Members must be aged 18 years or older. If a runner is aged 15 years or older we will admit them as a member provided they are always accompanied by a parent who is also a member. Social members will receive a £2 discount (if they are not UKA registered) at the Annual Half and 10k Runs held in July.

Active Members are Social Members who plan to enter at least 3 events during the year and represent ARC. Why 3+ events? It costs ARC £5 per runner per year to be affiliated to UKA. For every event that you enter you get a £2 discount including the ARC event in July. ARC is affiliated to UKA and Oxfordshire Athletics. So if you enter 3 or more events you have covered your costs. So the total cost of Active Membership is £10 per year.
