Apply for Membership
You are welcome to try three, free taster training sessions before deciding whether to join. Membership is necessary to continue attending training sessions after that and, additionally, each training session will cost £2. Membership has numerous benefits, including 10-15% discounts at many sports retailers, cheaper race entries (If you are registered with EA) and free entry to certain relay races as part of a RHAC team.
Our Annual Membership fees are due from 1st April each year. If these are not paid by the end of April, any subsequent race results during the overdue period will not count in our Club Championships. Members are resigned form the Club if their Membership renewal fee is not paid before 1st July (and they will no longer be permitted to attend training). The current fees, including the England Athletics fee where applicable, are as follows:
| Membership Category | 2026/27 Annual Membership Fee effective from 1st April 2026 – 31st March 2027 | Does this include Registration with England Athletics (£23 fee)? |
| Senior with EA Membership (Recommended. Age 18 or over, not in FTE) | £38.50 | Yes ** |
| Senior without EA Membership (e.g. second claim membership) | £15.50 | No |
| Junior of age 6-10 | £10.50 | No |
| Junior of age 11 – 17 and Students in FTE | £23.50 | Yes |
| Social Membership (this would not allow you to train with us or race with us. If you do race, your results will not count in any of our Championships). | £5.50 | No |
| Lifetime Member who wishes to Affiliate with EA (requires 25+ years continuous membership) | £23.50 | Yes |
| Lifetime Member who does not wish to Affiliate with EA (requires 25+ years continuous membership) | Free | No |
| Volunteer (for those who purely help us. This would not allow you to train with us or race with us. If you do race, your results will not count in any of our Championships). | Free | No |
* * This is recommended because it increases the number of competitions you can take part in.
