RMR CRC Membership

How much does it cost to join?

Our Annual Membership includes the exclusive ASICS/RMR Community Run Club vest. This membership renews and is payable annually, unless you cancel your subscription prior to your next payment date.

Our Monthly Membership  does not include the club vest. This membership option renews and is payable monthly, unless you cancel your subscription before the next payment date.

Both memberships do not include England Athletics Affiliation.

If you signed up prior to April 2023, your membership will renew automatically on 31st March each year, unless you cancel your subscription before the next payment date.

What are the benefits of a Run Mummy Run Community Run Club (RMR CRC) membership without affiliation?

You may join the RMR CRC without affiliating with EA. Please see further down the page for FAQs relating to EA affiliation. This is an optional process and carries a separate fee.

The standard RMR CRC membership gives you plenty of benefits and perks. We have listed all of them here. In non-licensed events, such as parkrun, you can run as a RMR CRC member. In order to run in licensed events (most road and trail races), you will not be able to register as a RMR CRC member unless you are an EA affiliated athlete through our club.

However, all of the other perks and benefits are the same whether you opt to affiliate or not.

Do you have to be part of the RMR community to join the club?

No, we welcome any women runners to our online running club. However, we would love you to be part of the main Run Mummy Run community too, which you can join for free here. This is a community of women who run to support, empower, inspire and advise each other on any aspect of running.

How does the subscription to the RMR CRC work? 

When you sign up to the RMR CRC, you will have your first payment taken straight away. Subsequent payments will be taken annually or monthly dependant on which membership option your choose.

If you signed up prior to April 2023, your membership will renew automatically on 31st March each year, unless you cancel your subscription before the next payment date.

It is your responsibility to cancel your subscription in time if you do not wish to renew.

What happens if I want to leave the club/cancel my subscription? 

Payments to RMR CRC are non-refundable. However, you can choose to leave the club at any time. You will need to log in to your account on the Run Mummy Run website, go to My Account and choose My Subscription. Here you can cancel your annual subscription. You can still enjoy all your RMR CRC perks up to and including the date in which your membership would have renewed. At this point you will be removed from the exclusive RMR CRC Facebook group and removed from the RMR CRC newsletter. Cancellation requests must be made a minimum of 7 days prior to the annual or monthly renewal date to ensure that the next subscription payment is not taken. 

If you have England Athletics affiliation with us (see below), you will need to cancel this separately through the England Athletics portal. Cancelling your EA affiliation does not cancel your RMR CRC club membership, and vice versa. England Athletics has its own cancellation procedure and we will be contacted by them to release you as an affiliated athlete.

England Athletics Affiliation

Am I automatically affiliated with England Athletics (EA) when I join the Run Mummy Run Community Run Club (RMR CRC)?

No. Affiliation is an optional extra, which you can choose at checkout when you join the RMR CRC. There is no obligation at all to affiliate with EA. You can be a member of the RMR CRC without being an affiliated member. However, if you would like to be EA affiliated with RMR CRC as your chosen affiliated club, we can process the application for you. There is a separate fee payable for this, which goes directly to EA plus a small admin fee to RMR for processing your application.

What are the advantages of being affiliated with England Athletics through RMR CRC?

There are many benefits to being an EA affiliated runner. As a registered runner, you can get discounts on race entry fees, usually a saving of £2. If you do a lot of races, your affiliation can pay for itself very quickly. You also get access to a wide range of support services provided by EA, the chance to undertake qualifications and development courses (such as becoming a Leader in Running Fitness), and a wide range of partner discounts and benefits. Read more here. By choosing to affiliate with RMR CRC, the club will be listed beside your name in race results. It also means that if RMR CRC is awarded any London Marathon club places, you would be eligible to be entered into our club ballot for one of those places.

Do I have to wear a club vest if I enter a race as an affiliated runner?

No, you are under no obligation to, though we would love it if you did! There are some exceptions to this, for example if you were entering any competitions, leagues or championships that are for EA registered athletes only, you may have to wear your registered club colours.

What if I’m in Scotland/Wales/NI? Can I still affiliate through RMR CRC? 

As Run Mummy Run, we are only allowed to register with one UK nation’s athletics governing body. Our business is registered in England, hence we have to register with England Athletics. You can still register with EA from outside UK nations, however you would not be able to enter Welsh, Scottish or Northern Ireland championship events, for which you must be registered with your home nation.

To find out more, visit the relevant authority website: https://www.welshathletics.org, https://www.scottishathletics.org.uk or https://athleticsni.org.

If you are already registered for a club in your home nation (not England), you will need to ask for a form to switch to an English club and pay the appropriate admin fee.

Your EA registration number (UKA number), should still allow you to get affiliated runner discounts on races in your home nation, as well as English races.

How do I transfer from another club? 

Log in to the England Athletics Portal here. In the left-hand menu is an option that says ‘Club Transfer’. This will walk you through the process of transferring your affiliation to RMR CRC. There is an administrative fee to action the transfer, payable to EA, of £10.

What does First Claim/Second Claim mean?

If you only join one running club, then it is your First Claim club and the main club you are registered with. If you join another club, that will be your Second Claim club. You can race as an individual in open races for any club you are a member of.

What if I didn’t opt to affiliate when I signed up to RMR CRC but now want to?

If you wish to affiliate and did not do this when you signed up with RMR CRC, you can send an email to [email protected] and we will send you more information.

How do I change my personal details?

To change your personal details in relation to England Athletics, please log into your personal portal and change directly in there.

Why is there an admin fee to process my application? 

The admin fee covers the time of the person who is processing the affiliation applications on behalf of RMR CRC.
