I have been a member of Atlanta Track Club for 6 years now. I originally received my membership as a Christmas gift from Papa J. Little did I know then how much Atlanta Track Club would impact my life and help me grow as a runner. When I first became a member, I was not educated on all of the great perks of being a member. Well, over the years, membership perks have grown along with the club and they are pretty great if I may say so. There are a number of reasons that I would recommend becoming a member, but I wanted to highlight just a few of my favorite Atlanta Track Club perks. 1. Free entry and discounted entry to select races throughout the year. Yes, you read that right, free and discounted races. Races can get pricey and the ability to run a race for free is pretty amazing if you ask me. Atlanta Track Club hosts a variety of free events around the metro-Atlanta area throughout the year as a part of their Grand Prix Series. To learn more about the series and the races that are free for Atlanta Track Club members go to the website here. There are also a number of other great races hosted by Atlanta Track Club that you must pay for, however a lot of them are discounted for Atlanta Track Club members. A list of upcoming Atlanta Track Club events can be found here. 2. Discounts on running gear. If you have been a member of the running and fitness community for any length of time, you know how much your running gear bills can add up. As a perk for Atlanta Track Club members, you will receive 10% discount at several Atlanta area running stores including Big Peach Running Co., Phidippides, and West Stride. Just saving 10% off of your running shoes and other gear for the next year could pay for your membership. 3. Be a part of an awesome running community. Atlanta has a great running community that is growing more every single day. As an Atlanta Track Club member, you will become a part of this awesome group throughout Atlanta. Whether you find fellow members at a local race, join an Atlanta Track Club training group, or interact with other people passionate about running and fitness on social media, Atlanta Track Club provides a supportive environment for all of their members. Atlanta Track Club also hosts a number of social events during the year that gives members the chance to meet-up and even hear some really cool speakers. No matter if you are a runner or a walker, if you are up and moving, Atlanta Track Club is the place for you. 4. Early registration and acceptance into the AJC Peachtree Road Race. One of the most popular perks of being a member of Atlanta Track Club is early entry into the Peachtree Road Race. Entry to the world's largest 10K is granted by random-draw lottery in the spring. Did you know that if you are a member of Atlanta Track Club by the February 1st you are granted the access to register for the Peachtree Road Race before the lottery even opens. Members are sent an email with instructions in February on how to register - you will receive a window of two weeks to register and if you don't register then you must enter the random-draw lottery in mid-March. Atlanta Track Club is currently offering a special for membership of the remainder of 2015 and all of 2016 for the price of 12 months. There are different membership packages available starting at $35/year (individual, dual, and family memberships are available). Interested in becoming a member of the Atlanta Track Club?
