Membership type

We offer three types of membership to suit different runners and levels of involvement: First Claim, Second Claim, and Social Membership.

First Claim (£37) includes full membership to Mickleover Running Club and affiliation to England Athletics, giving you access to EA race discounts. Choose this option if you want to compete in races under Mickleover RC and benefit from EA perks.

Second Claim (£17) is for runners who are already First Claim members of another running club. This option provides full Mickleover RC membership, but please note that Second Claim members cannot represent the club in the Cross Country League.

Social Membership (£17) offers full access to Mickleover Running Club without England Athletics affiliation. Social members can represent the club in the Cross Country League.

Membership renews annually on 31st March. Anyone joining after 1st January will have their membership extended until March of the following year.
