RACE EVENT DISCOUNTS - BIG discount List Sorted by State

 

Hundreds of half marathon, and other distance, race discounts. The discounts alone pay for your annual dues and then some! Our list is too long with races constantly being removed and added to be able to update it both in our private member login where codes are and publicly, so our discount list is not available to be publicized.

Our club goal is to provide you a high class, special, quality award for your achievement you worked so hard for.  Think about it!

Do you even know a half marathon that personally engraves a little medal or gives a really nice trophy to every finisher? Of course not! They would probably charge over $200 per race or more if they did. And our joining fee is about the same, or even less than a lot of half marathon events. Yes, our joining fee could rise in the future, so join early in your journey! All "General Membership" members will receive one free award, as long as rule #11 is fulfilled.  Please see rules & guidelines page for cost of 2nd awards, and milestone awards. You can earn MORE FREE awards, the longer you are a member, or by purchasing multiple year annual dues packages.  Life Membership members will receive complimentary awards for life.
