Club Membership Options for 2026–2027

BBR Base Membership Registration All Runners

• All base memberships are valid from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027, in line with the Athletics NSW registration period.
• Base membership includes your Athletics NSW Community Athlete registration, which provides personal liability insurance (please refer to the Athletics NSW website for full details of Community Athlete benefits), as well as the Byron Bay Runners club administration fee. All runners attending weekly club training sessions must have personal liability insurance.
• All runners must purchase a Base Membership ($58 Per Year Valid 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027) to become a member of Byron Bay Runners and attend weekly training sessions. If you are registering as a club coach or volunteer and do not run or participate in training sessions (e.g. you only hold a committee role), please select the appropriate non-running membership category instead.
• All training sessions are conducted by an Athletics Australia-accredited club coach. Coaches working with our junior and senior squads also hold current Working With Children Checks.
• If you are eligible for a NSW Active Kids Voucher, please have your voucher number ready to enter during the registration process.

Coaching fees for Sprint- and Distance Sqauds and the PB Chasers Program are now paid directly to your coach each term and are separate from your annual club membership. This provides greater flexibility for members, with coaching fees managed independently of club registration.
