2012 Renewal Period Starts for RRCA Membership

For the fifth year in a row the RRCA Board of Directors has elected to maintain the membership dues at the current rate.  We are able to do this through prudent financial management of the organization and from generous financial support by our members and corporate supporters.  RRCA membership runs on the calendar year.  All members must renew by February 1st to ensure full coverage of all club and event activities. Review the detailed membership policies and guidelines. 

Primary Contact Update

IMPORTANT Note about Primary Contacts: Each running club and event member is assigned ONE Primary Contact person who is the authorized representative to renew a club or event membership in our database. 

• If you were the Primary Contact for your club or event in 2011 you will be able to log in using your Username & Password assigned previously.
• If you are the NEW Primary Contact for your club or event in 2012, please create a personal profile.
• Once you have created a profile, send an email to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). In the subject line of the e-mail, write - Primary Contact Update - and include your full name and running club or event name.
• We will notify you when the change of primary contact is complete for your organization, and then you can proceed with the renewal process.

Insurance Program

Insurance coverage is one of the major benefits of RRCA membership.  An organization must be a member of the RRCA to access the insurance program we offer to our members.  We believe that insurance is a top priority for clubs and events and should never be an afterthought in the planning process.  RRCA insurance is not transferable to 3rd parties. All primary contacts for RRCA member clubs and event must attest to having reviewed the RRCA Guidelines for Safe Events, Guidelines for Leading a Group Run, and insurance information.

IMPORTANT:

Closely review the exclusions for the general liability policy.  RRCA’s group liability policy will not insure overnight relay races held on open roads.  The policy will no longer cover high-risk events commonly referred to as mud-runs, “warrior dashes”, and urbanathons that include man-made obstacles such as man-made mud pits, man-made slippery slopes, wall climbs, rope-climbs, tunnel crawls, or other similar man-made obstacles.  Events run on man-made trails or cross country courses that do not include man-made obstacles ARE included in coverage, but the course cannot be altered to create man-made obstacles such as watering-down a dry trail or cross country course with a hose to make it muddy. Star Insurance can write a policy specifically for your event if the RRCA insurance program cannot cover the event due to exclusions to our policy.  Contact Terry Diller at 260-467-5690.

Post the RRCA Member Badge

The RRCA member badge lets members know that your organization is part of the largest distance running organization in the US, and that your activities are adequately insured.  Post this member badge and link to www.RRCA.org.  Find the member badge and other RRCA logos for use by members on our branding page.
