Keeping your details up to date

If you change your details during the membership year please update them via the England Athletics myAthletics portal.

Joining

To join the club please complete the membership form.  Once your membership has been processed you will be sent an email with a link to pay your fees. If you do not receive the email please get in touch with the Membership Secretary who will be able to resend it.

When you join your details will be passed on to England Athletics who will post you a Competition Licence card. The card can be used to prove your entitlement to discount at Sweatshop and other retailers. Your Unique Runner Number (URN) is printed on the card, many race organisers ask you to fill in on their entry forms. Your URN stays the same when you renew your membership.

EA cards are printed only once a month so could take up to two months to arrive after joining the club. If your card has not arrived after two months please let the Membership Secretary know and they will chase it up.

Additional Benefits

  • Up & Running (Oldham and Manchester) off 10% discount for non-sale items
  • A £2 discount of many running races (under UKA or associated organisation permits are obliged to offer a £2 discount to members)

Other benefits are listed on the England Athletics website.
