Running Clubs

Just curious - I know there is a running club in my area and I'm considering joining. It's 20$ to join which goes to maintain the club's course (beautiful course too!). It also includes a bunch of social events, a 5k race series, beginner groups, newsletters, etc.

Have any of you joined a club? Has it been worthwhile?

    I used to be part of a running club in NH. I mostly used it for the social events, 5K series and newsletters. I also volunteer for races through them. I have never been the type to go to track workouts with others, but it was nice to have experienced runners around to ask questions and get running routes. This was at a time where i didn't spend as much time on the internet, in which you can get a lot of this from. However, it is still nice to talk to people.

    I also like going to races to cheer other people on at their goal distance. It was great motivation.
