Join the Cross Country, Track, and Field Club at UC Davis!
|
We will resume in-person practices and competitions on September 22nd, but you can join anytime! If you would like to join the club now or get advice for running in Davis from our officers, either use the contact form to the right or email davisxctclub@gmail.com. Our Info tab has more information. During the school year, we meet every weekday at 4:30 PM at the Woody Wilson Track, shown on the map below. We may change the meet time and location or cancel practice depending on weather and competitions. You are allowed to run on campus, including the track (when it is not in use by ICA), as long as you abide by university rules.
The only requirement for joining is that you are a current UC Davis student of any flavor: undergraduate or graduate, part-time or full-time. We do not have "try-outs" and no background in running, sprinting, or jumping is required. We do not check grades and there is no age requirement. Our governing association, NIRCA, does not have year restrictions like NCAA/NAIA/etc., so athletes with backgrounds in those organizations may join and compete at any time. The only mandatory fees are dues ($35/year) and the UC Davis Sport Clubs waiver ($10/year). Club uniforms, which are required for NIRCA events but not other events, usually cost $25-$40 but usually do not have to be purchased every year by our continuing athletes. Travel expenses vary by race, and races are not mandatory. |
