Key Features of the RunSignup Club Platform
Roster Management & Payment Collection
RunSignup makes it easy for you to manage your roster of members, automate renewals, and collect payments. Flexible membership options include:
- Membership for a set number of days, months, or years.
- Membership for a custom date range (often used by limited-time training programs)

- Individual memberships and/or group/family memberships for more than one person
Membership Reports

Additional Features For Running Clubs…
Websites
Every running club comes with an automatically created, beautiful website with custom branding options, the ability to add content, and an option to customize your URL.
Email marketing is integrated into your membership website, allowing you to send unlimited emails to unlimited contacts using our Email V2 system. Up to the minute members lists are automatically included, along with the option to upload any custom contact lists.
