Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I have to be fast to join club?
A: Absolutely not! We will do our best to accommodate everyone who shows up, and is willing to be reasonable with running slightly quicker/slower than what they are comfortable with (we will be reasonable).
Q: Do I have to show up everyday?
A: No! We understand that you might have a class conflict or other commitments. Come as much or as little as you want.
Q: Where does club run?
A: We run around the Clifton, Hyde-Park, and downtown areas. Occasionally groups will carpool to bikepaths and parks to change up the scenery. We do not run around campus or just on the track, that would be insanity.
Q: Do I have to race?
A: No, you're always welcome to come out and just run/workout with us. There is no mandate to race.
Q: If I do want to race, how do I sign-up for this?
A: Fill out this survey and pay the dues on venmo to @UCRunningClub.
Q: What if I can't run all of the races?
A: That's absolutely fine! Run as many or as few of the races as you want. Just make sure that you do not sign up for the race if you cannot race it. There will be a fee associated with a race you sign up for that you do not run (except for spontaneous reasons - sickness, death in the family, etc.)
Q: I'm not a distance runner, do you guys do Indoor/Outdoor Track?
A: Yes we do! Club does send Distance, Sprinters, and Field athletes to Indoor and Outdoor track meets.
