How Do I Join the Club?
If you would like to join the club now, either fill out the contact form to the right or email [email protected]. The only requirement to join 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. 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. UC Davis sports club members are required to get a physical before participating in any club event. Appointments fill up fast at the start of the school year, so getting one as soon as possible is in your best interest. Bring this physical form to your physician or make an appointment at the Student Health and Wellness Center on campus. The only mandatory fees are dues ($60/year) and the UC Davis Sport Clubs waiver ($20/year). Club uniforms, which are required for NIRCA and other team-level races, cost $40 but usually do not have to be purchased every year by our continuing athletes. Travel expenses vary by race, and racing is not mandatory. When/Where is Practice? During the school year, our official practice is every weekday at 4:30 PM (we start running at 4:40) at Woody Wilson Track, shown on the map below, though we also regularly run as a team in the mornings and on weekends for practice and social events, all facilitated through our very active Slack channel--ask our membership officers to add you to our Slack. We may change our regular meet time and location or cancel practice depending on weather and races. 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. Our Info tab has more information about the club's operations. |
