Membership fees for 2026 are:

• Full adult membership including England Athletics registration (benefits of registration) – £68

• Basic adult membership (no England Athletics registration) – £45

• Under 18 /student membership (no England Athletics registration) – £30

• Second claim membership – £22 (senior) / £15 (junior)

• ​Social membership – £6

​

​These are the same rates as in 2025 apart from England Athletics (EA) affiliated members. EA has increased the individual affiliation fee by three pounds and we are passing on this increase.

​

Do I need England Athletics affiliation?

EA affiliation is required if you wish to participate in the Essex Cross Country League, Southern Athletics League, Eastern Masters Track and Field League and county, area and national championships. It also gives access to discounts and benefits including £2 discount on many commercial races. We encourage members to affiliate as it supports the sport nationally and the number of EA affiliated members affects the club's entitlement to a place in the London Marathon.

​

What do I receive for my membership

​

All categories of membership (apart from social membership) provide access to our training sessions, free entry to club and Chingford League races, a friendly and supportive environment and advice and encouragement from our coaching team and fellow members.

​​​

All members are expected to abide by the relevant UK Athletics codes of conduct. You can download the Loughton AC Club Rules and other policies, including our safeguarding policy, here.

​

lf you joined at the full rate after 1 October 2026 you do not need to renew your club membership until 1 January 2028. However EA affiliated members will need to pay £23 to maintain their affiliation in April 2027. This is because the EA affiliation year runs from April-March each year. Please ask if you have any questions.
