Renew or Join WCRC in one of two ways:

1. Click here to join or renew online, or
2. Print a membership application and mail it in.

Annual new membership dues are $25 for an individual member and $40 for a family. Renewal dues are $20 for individuals and $35 for families. Membership runs from January 1 – December 31. New members that join the Club after September have their membership run through December 31 of the following year.

Here’s how the Club uses your annual dues:

  1. Liability Insurance: By law the club has to carry insurance. We do that through RRCA (Road Runners Club of America). This protects the club from any lawsuits and allows us to legally use local tracks for club events and even to hold races.
  2. Westtown School Track: The club pays a small annual fee to The Westtown School for the use of their track. As part of our agreement with Westtown, all participants in the Tuesday evening track workouts must be covered by the club’s insurance (and therefore must be official, paid members of the club).
  3. Kids’ Day at the Races: A portion of the dues goes to help fund the Kid’s Day at the Races which has previously been funded almost exclusively by Bill and Betty Dawson. The Oakbourne Park now charges to use that facility.
  4. WCRC Scholarship Fund: A portion of the dues goes to help subsidize the Scholarship Fund. This Fund has provided many students with scholarship money over the years (to the tune of over $40,000!).
  5. Club Social Events: Last but not least, we plan on providing some money for our annual picnic, holiday party and maybe even a tailgate or two at some local races.
