The Peachtree City Running Club

Dues are only $30 per year. But you get far more in return than the membership fee could ever begin to cover. Here is just a brief list of some of the benefits you receive as a member:

• Memberships are for a family so multiple folks benefit from just one $30 membership.
• Running tips from very accomplished athletes (our Club President is an RRCA certified trainer!!).
• Monthly e-mails of upcoming club events and activities, meeting notices, race announcements, and race entry forms.
• You automatically become a member of the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) at no additional fee and you qualify for all the benefits of belonging to the 2400 member national organization.
• If you are a club officer, you are eligible to attend the annual RRCA convention while the club funds a $1000 stipend to cover registration, travel, and lodging.
• Free entry into all 10 annual Club Grands Prix. Placing in the top five in your age group overall at year's end will earn you a gift certificate valued at up to $150.
• Quarterly One Mile Time Trials. Chart your progress each quarter and have a shot at winning gift certificates!
• Learn your way around the 100 miles of cart paths in PTC while having fun with your running buds.
• Certificate and/or jacket the first year and every five years thereafter when you join the 1000 Mile Club ($60 value per jacket)
• Subsidized bus to the annual Peachtree 10K Road Race ($10 value)
• Subsidized dinner at the annual Christmas Awards banquet ($30 value)
• 10% discount at stores like Smith & Davis, Fleet Feet, and Dragonfly Running Store
• Eligibility to earn one of the Superlative Awards (Most Improved Male/Female, Rookie of the Year Male/Female, Volunteer of the Year, President's Award) and be recognized at the annual Awards Banquet.
• Being a member gives you the opportunity to give something back to the sport and the satisfaction that you are building the foundation and opportunities that encourage others to take up a healthy lifestyle.
• The cost for joining the PTCRC is well below that of equivalent clubs and a lot less than the benefits you will receive and the value of your being a member is to the sport.

Some of these benefits may be of interest and some may not, but you can't deny that for the price you pay you get much more value than the actual cost. So for $30 you get over three times that in terms of tangible benefits. There are many more less tangible benefits like camaraderie, health and fitness, and life-long friends. But the real benefit of joining the club is giving back to the community that has given so much to you as a runner.

By volunteering to work and support our annual signature event, the PTC Classic, we raise an average of $20,000 every year that is donated back to the community in the form of scholarships to high school seniors, and grants to the elementary and middle schools in Fayette County. In partnership with the Rotary Club, we have helped raise $100,000 for the elementary schools in Fayette County participating in the annual Elementary School Grand Prix Series every year since 2005 totaling approximately ONE AND A HALF MILLON DOLLARS!!

Who wouldn't want to be a part of that?!?!?
