Thanks a lot for visiting our website! It indicates that you may be considering joining a running club.
Often runners and walkers, who love their sport, wonder if there is any advantage to joining a  club. They tend to take part in the odd races with temporary licenses, participating in plain clothes. When deliberating whether or not to join a club - the points to consider are:
- You run with people, train with people and make friends for life;
- You have official club colours to run in. Importantly, you BELONG and have an identity!
- If you are not a club member, you always have to purchase temporary licenses and have to run in plain clothes. In short, you are incognito!
- You get a permanent CGA license number that entitles you to participate in any event in the country without having to buy temporary licenses;
- You are covered by CGA's insurance in case of an accident during an event;
- The temporary licenses could cost you more than annual club membership;
- Membership entitles you to participate in all club activities, from time trials, club runs, social events, etc.
- You have access to information on this club's website that is not available to the general public. Only members are allowed to register on the site.
Having said that, we also have a SOCIAL MEMBERSHIP category for people who do not wish to participate in races in club colours, but simply want to participate in these group activities to keep fit. This category is open also to members of other clubs that may not have the same facilities for their members.
If you require further information, please feel free to contact us. |
