Joining a free running club can enhance the fun and excitement of the activity. When choosing a club, consider interests, skills, age, personalities, and benefits. Ensure the club operates legally and safely, and offers emergency health benefits.
Urban areas are often home to free runners attempting to move over, through, around, or under man-made and natural objects within an urban landscape. This activity can be fun and exhilarating, but it can be even more enjoyable if you choose to join a free running club. You probably have a few options for clubs if you live in a major urban area, but in general, such clubs aren’t as common as other athletic clubs, so you may need to do some research to find options. When choosing a free running club, start by determining if you’ll be a good fit in terms of interests, skills, and age.
The purpose of joining any club is to meet others who share your passion, and a free running club is no different. While everyone in the club will have a passion for freerunning, it’s important to consider whether the personalities are a good fit and other interests outside of freerunning match your own. Try to find a free running club that accepts members in your age group and skill level; most clubs will, but some are reserved for advanced or beginner free runners only. It’s a good idea to go to a few club meetings to get a general idea of whether you’ll be a good fit with a particular club.
If you will be required to pay dues to join the free running club, be sure to find out what types of benefits you will receive for your payment. While many clubs do not charge fees, others may charge fees to cover equipment, travel, or administrative costs. Others may offer sponsorships from various companies that are interested in reaching a free audience. It’s also a good idea to look for clubs that sponsor events, meetings, regular club meetings, or even discussions. Some clubs may do volunteer work in the community to help improve the image of free runners and give back to the community at large.
Make sure any free racing club you consider is operating legally and safely. Free running is an inherently dangerous sport, but it can be made exceptionally more dangerous if club members act recklessly or irresponsibly. Injuries are likely to occur; some clubs may offer basic emergency health benefits that you may be eligible for; these benefits will cover you if you are injured at a club event.
