Run club sign-up
Runners join a pace group so nobody runs alone, and pacers know who to wait for.
What's inside
Runners pick a pace group and a distance; first-timers are also asked what they are training for, so a pacer can say hello with something to talk about.

Running a club people come back to
Pin the link in your club's Instagram bio or Strava club description. New runners usually find a club there, the week before they turn up.
Pace groups in minutes per kilometer let a runner choose without guessing. Three groups fit most clubs; if one group grows past 15 runners, split it and give it a second pacer.
The goal question only shows to first-timers. Read the answers on Friday: a runner training for a first 10K gets paired with a pacer who has run one.
Keep the emergency contact even for a 5K. If you print a sign-in sheet for the bandstand, a QR code to this form lets newcomers join on the spot.
Run club sign-up questions
Do runners sign up every week?
No. This form is a one-time join. Members turn up each Saturday without replying again. If you want a headcount for a special run, duplicate the form and change the date in the intro. The link stays open all year, so new runners can join any week, and your responses list doubles as the member list with an emergency number for each runner.
Should a run club ask health questions?
Keep it to an emergency contact. Medical questions bring privacy duties most clubs don't need. Ask runners to tell their pacer in person about anything that matters on the day, like asthma or a recent injury. Each pacer can carry a printed list of their group's names and emergency numbers, and shred it after the run.
Can I use miles instead of kilometers?
Yes. Edit the pace group options to minutes per mile, for example easy at 11:00 or slower, steady from 9:30 to 11:00 and fast under 9:30, and the distances to 3, 5 and 6 miles. Use one unit across the whole form, since a mix of kilometers and miles confuses a newcomer choosing a group.
