Why Running Clubs Choose RunSignup
Most clubs juggle a spreadsheet, a separate tool, a website, and a race platform. RunSignup puts all of it in one place.
Races & Members on One Platform
Membership and race registration share the same system, so members get their discounts automatically and runners can join your club while they register for a race.
Less Admin for Volunteer Boards
Automated renewals, member self-serve updates, and built-in reports replace manual tracking, so nobody is chasing payments or rebuilding the roster each year.
Tools to Engage Your Running Community
A free club website and unlimited email keep members up to date on group runs, races, and club news all year.
What Runnings Club Organizers are Saying
“RunSignup provides a strong, centralized platform that can support the complexity of a large running club. It allows you to manage membership, events, and communications in one place, which is critical for scaling operations and maintaining engagement across a broad community.”
Jenna Conley, Executive Director, Richmond Road Runners Club
“The email component has been really advantageous for us. It’s so much easier to maintain separate club lists along with race-specific ones.”
Chris Cutler, Webmaster, Twin City Track Club
“Our running club made the easy switch to RunSignup. We entered basic organization info and uploaded our member roster. Now we have a single source for membership and events registration, club communication, and tracking trends.”
Evan Lovelace, Peachtree City Running Club
Built for Every Type of Running Club
Whether your club meets at a brewery on Wednesday nights or runs a full race calendar, RunSignup, adapts to how your club actually works.
Key Features of RunSignup’s Running Club Membership Software
- Offer automatic race discounts to members, set by membership level

More Ways RunSignup Supports Your Club
