Joining Ware Joggers

Looking for a supportive and fun running group? Join Ware Joggers! We welcome runners of all abilities, from beginners taking their first steps to seasoned marathoners. We ensure everyone has someone to run with at their own pace, so you'll never be left behind.

Why Join Ware Joggers?

Membership Details

Our membership year runs from April 1st to March 31st. After paying the annual Ware Joggers membership fee (details on the membership form linked below), you can join our club runs and training sessions. Please note: Track sessions at Wodson Park require an additional fee payable directly to Wodson.

England Athletics Affiliation

Ware Joggers members can also affiliate with England Athletics for a small additional fee. By affiliating, you’ll be recognised as a member athlete by the national governing body for running in England. For competitive runners, it opens up the chance to qualify for championship events—or even represent Hertfordshire (as many Ware Joggers have!). But even if you’re not chasing higher honours, there are plenty of great reasons to sign up:

Renew your EA membership by 30 April 2025 to enter the Ware Joggers Club Ballot for a chance to win a 2026 London Marathon place!

A Special Thanks

We'd like to extend our sincere thanks to Wodson Park Sports & Leisure Centre for their generous support in providing us with a meeting room and storage space. This valuable resource greatly benefits our club and its members.

Wodson corporate membership

We encourage all club members to join Wodson Park, a community sports center and registered charity. We have an agreement with them that allows our club to use their facilities for free on club nights, as long as our members also become Wodson Park members. This option is available at a significant discount. You can find full details on the membership form. Becoming a Wodson Park member gives you discounted rates on all their activities, including aerobics classes, gym access, and hall rentals. You'll also have access to their cafe and members' bar. If you prefer not to join Wodson Park, you can still pay each time you use their facilities.

Ware Joggers Affiliate Membership

Members who've been with the club for over a year can choose this option if they no longer wish to run with us but want to stay connected through Facebook and club emails. See the "Benefits/Types of Membership" link above for more details.
