Join the UC Davis Cross Country, Track, and Field Club!
|
We are accepting new members, even during COVID-19! While we are not allowed to practice in person due to the pandemic, we are encouraging our athletes and new recruits to continue running as best they can until we can meet as a team again. 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 page has more information. Normally, we would meet every weekday afternoon at the Woody Wilson Track, shown on the map below. You are allowed to run on campus, including the track (when it is not in use by ICA), as long as you abide by distancing guidelines.
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. |
