At the heart of athletics sit the foundations for a lifetime of activity – run, jump, and throw – which give our sport its simplicity, inclusivity and affordability.

Whatever your interest in athletics and running you can benefit from being a member of our inspiring community, either through joining a club to become a registered athlete or enhancing your own individual running experience by signing up to our new RUN:EA membership.

Interested in joining a club?

If you're interested in joining an athletics or running club then our athlete registration is perfect for you. As an England Athletics registered athlete, you'll be part of a nationwide community of athletes and runners, whilst also helping us to support your club and the sport we all love. Your registration fee not only benefits the sport as a whole but also gives you access to a range of benefits and services.

You need to join an England Athletics affiliated athletics or running club to take out our athlete registration. By joining a club, you'll also benefit from taking part in the sport in a safe and supportive environment where you can meet new people and enjoy being coached by England Athletics licensed coaches and leaders.
