Got questions? We’ve got answers
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.
Please note that during your 14-day free trial you will have limited access to the RUN:EA member discounts.
How do I save £2 on England Athletics events?
After signing up for your RUN:EA free trial, or full membership, you’ll be issued with a Unique Reference Number which will be sent to you by email. To sign up for one of England Athletics 3,000+ licensed events visit RunEvents and search for an event near you. When registering, provide your Unique Reference Number when asked for it and you’ll automatically receive a £2 discount on your registration fee.
Is there a limit to how many discounted purchases I can make per year?
No! You can make as many discounted purchases as you like. With savings like 50% off OS Maps, 15% off SportsShoes.com and up to 40% off Garmin, you’ll easily recoup your running membership fee – and then some.
Please note that not all brand discounts are available during the 14-day free trial, but you’ll get access to a selection of our most popular discounts.
What do I get in my 2-week free trial?
For 14 days from signing up, you can access all of the RUN:EA premium content by England Athletics and exclusive race discounts. You’ll also receive access to a limited number of our best-loved discounts from running brands including OS Maps, Asics and SiS. Full access to a wider range of discounts will be available once your full membership is unlocked
Can I access all of the discounts before the two weeks free trial is up?
To access the full suite of RUN:EA discounts before the 2-week free trial ends, you can upgrade your subscription early and pay the annual membership fee, at which point all the brand discounts will become available immediately.
When will I be charged following my free trial?
You will be charged the annual membership fee at the end of the 14-day free trial period. You will need to enter your payment card details to start your free trial. You can upgrade your subscription early by paying the annual membership fee to access all the RUN:EA membership benefits.
What if I don’t want to continue after the trial?
You can cancel the free trial at any time during the 14-day trial period, if you do payment will not be taken after the 14 days but you can still enjoy the membership benefits for the remaining time. After the 14 days, with no payment taken you will not be able to access the RUN:EA membership benefits.
If you decide to sign up later you can reactivate your membership by paying the annual membership fee.
Who is eligible for the free trial?
The free trial is available to first-time subscribers who have not previously had a RUN:EA membership or a free trial account.
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 individual running membership is for you.
How long does RUN:EA membership last?
From the point of signing up you will have two weeks membership completely free. After 14 days, your annual membership payment for the year will be taken and you will then have a full year of membership benefits and discounts. Your membership will renew each year on the same date that payment is taken (or until you tell us otherwise).
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.
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.
If you are a member of an unaffiliated running club, or Run Together Group, then you can join RUN:EA.
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.
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.
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.
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.
