JOIN THE CLUB

We’d love you to become a member of WERC — and the process is super simple!

WHY RUN WITH WERC?

•••

MULTIPLE SESSIONS

We offer Thursday evening sessions, early morning runs before work, and lunchtime trail runs to fit your schedule.

SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY

Join a welcoming group of runners of all abilities who support and encourage each other.

ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS

Experienced coaches and run leaders help you reach your running goals, whatever they may be.

•••

As a Scottish Athletics–affiliated club, we receive support, insurance, and access to events through our governing body. In return, we pay a small annual affiliation fee which is covered by your membership fees.

The rest of your membership fee is reinvested into developing the club.

Please note you do not automatically gain an individual Scottish Athletics membership by joining the club. This is an additional fee, but includes further benefits - more info here.

💙 No one at WERC is paid — we're all volunteers who love running!

HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER

ENJOY A 4-WEEK TRIAL

Come along to The Thursday Session and enjoy a 4-week trial before we ask you to be a member. Meet our friendly members, chat with coaches, and get a feel for how the club works. Many of our members choose to donate £2 to club funds at the session each Thursday, payable by cash or card - this is optional.

DECIDE TO JOIN WERC

After your trial, we'll invite you to become a member. This allows us to collect your emergency contact details, which helps us keep everyone safe — our top priority.

By now, you'll know we're a club built on community, inclusivity, and quality — and we hope you'll be excited to join officially!

CHOOSE THE CORRECT MEMBERSHIP TYPE

There is nothing stopping you joining the club if you run with other Scottish Athletics clubs, but the type of membership may differ.

•••

FIRST CLAIM

You'll be a first claim member if:

  • WERC will be your primary club

  • You'd like to represent WERC at races and events

  • You want to wear the club kit and list WERC on your Parkrun profile

SECOND CLAIM

You'll be a second claim member if:

  • You're primarily affiliated with another Scottish Athletics club

  • You still want to train and take part in WERC sessions

•••

HEAD OVER TO ENTRY CENTRAL TO SIGN UP

We use the online platform Entry Central for our membership to keep things simple.

Sign up as either a first claim member or second claim member and pay the annual membership fee, structured as follows:

•••

Standard membership

£25

Standard membership after November 1st

£12.50

Concession membership

•••

We also have a constitutionally protected free membership for those who genuinely cannot afford to sign up, ensuring finances are never a barrier to participation.

Email info@werunclub.co.uk to request this.

IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN A MEMBER OF ANOTHER CLUB

If you've been a member of another Scottish Athletics club within the past 3 years, you'll need to transfer your club on your JustGo profile:

  1. Log in to your account

  2. Click the three dots next to your current club name

  3. Select Transfer

This step is only needed for first claim members — second claim members can skip it.
