Got questions? We’ve got answers
Who is RUN:EA individual running membership for?
RUN:EA membership is designed for all adult runners who prefer to go it alone rather than become part of a club. Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned marathon runner, RUN:EA is your chance to be part of something bigger – while giving back to the sport you love.
How is RUN:EA different from joining a running club?
RUN:EA and club membership both have a lot to offer – but the structure and time commitments of club life don’t work for everyone. If you prefer to run on your own terms, RUN:EA is for you.
How do I access my membership benefits?
You’ll quickly learn to navigate RUN:EA’s easy-to-use member dashboard, where you’ll find your exclusive offers, race discounts, and tips and advice from elite running experts.
How long does RUN:EA membership last?
Signing up to RUN:EA gives you a full year of membership benefits and discounts, starting on the day of your first subscription payment. Your membership will renew each year on the same date (or until you tell us otherwise).
Can I join RUN:EA if I’m already a member of a running club?
No. RUN:EA isn’t intended to replace club membership, and you can only have one type of membership at a time.
Does RUN:EA individual running membership allow me to enter events as a registered/competitive athlete?
While you can take part in events to challenge your own performance as a RUN:EA member – your £30 annual running membership gives you discounts of up to 15% off dozens of events – RUN:EA membership doesn’t allow you to compete.
Is there a limit to how many discounted purchases I can make per year?
Nope! You can make as many discounted purchases as you like. With savings like 50% off OS Maps, 15% off SportsShoes and up to 40% off Garmin, you’ll easily recoup your running membership fee – and then some.
Does RUN:EA membership include access to individual coaching or training plans?
While membership doesn’t include personalised advice, exclusive tips and articles from elite England Athletics coaches and experts will keep you motivated and help you achieve your running goals.
If you’re after a personalised online training plan, you can save 20% on an annual subscription with Coopah Running – the run coaching app that guarantees to help you beat your fitness goals.
Does RUN:EA membership enable me to run for an England Athletics team or club?
No. RUN:EA is a solo running membership – it doesn’t give you club or team affiliation.
Does RUN:EA give me the same £2 discount off licensed events as club membership?
No. RUN:EA members do not receive the £2 discount off all licensed events that club members get. RUN:EA currently offers other event discounts with specific event partners.
Is there a junior RUN:EA membership?
RUN:EA is designed for adult runners. If you’re under 18, we recommend you join a running club to get the most out of the sport.
Can I pay monthly?
There’s no monthly payment option for RUN:EA individual running membership, but at £30 a year it’s less than the equivalent of an isotonic drink each month. And you’ll quickly recoup the cost of your running membership with all those brand savings and race discounts.
