RRCA Opens 2026 Membership Renewal With No Increase in Dues or Insurance Rates for Run Clubs and Events

November 21, 2025

Falls Church, VA — (November 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – The Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) has officially opened the 2026 membership renewal period for running clubs and event organizations. The membership portal for 2026 is live, and current and new members are encouraged to join and renew early to ensure uninterrupted access to RRCA’s industry-leading insurance program and member benefits.

Once again, there is no increases to membership dues or insurance rates for 2026, reflecting the RRCA’s continued commitment to keeping costs stable for clubs and events nationwide. The RRCA membership and insurance program operates on a calendar-year basis, ensuring there are no unexpected mid-year coverage changes. This stability allows organizations to plan annual activities with confidence and peace of mind.

Long-Term Stability Through Trusted Insurance Partnerships

RRCA’s ability to maintain consistent, competitive rates year after year is directly tied to its long-standing relationships with Insurance Management Group (IMG) and K&K Insurance, which have partnered with RRCA for over two decades. These partnerships ensure:

• Unmatched program stability in a shifting market
• Best-in-class coverage tailored specifically for running clubs and events
• Transparent, predictable pricing that supports organizational budget planning

This long-term collaboration coupled with the RRCA’s Safe Events Guidelines and education resources for club leaders and event directors is a major reason RRCA members continue to enjoy one of the most reliable and comprehensive insurance programs in the endurance sports industry.

Key Highlights for 2026

• No dues increase for running clubs or event-organization members
• No rate changes for General Liability, Directors & Officers, or optional coverages
• Annual term begins Dec 31 at 12:00 a.m. (to ensure New Year’s Eve activities are covered)
• Renewals must be completed before hosting any 2026 activities to remain insured
• Coverage includes all club organized activities along with coverage for events of all distance for road races, trail races, ultra races, track meets (with limitations – additional coverage for jumps and certain throw events available for purchase), cross-country meets, and fun/theme runs. (Obstacle course, mud runs, and certain overnight relays are not eligible as they require event-specific underwriting.)

RRCA also offers optional coverages—including Medical Volunteers, Cyber Liability, and supplemental Field Event insurance—for organizations with specialized needs. Additional policies such as Liquor License (selling alcohol), Event Cancellation or Active Assailant can be obtained through underwriting with our partners at Insurance Management Group.

RRCA encourages run clubs and events to join as early as possible to ensure continuous coverage and uninterrupted access to member benefits. Detailed information including instructions and insurance program information are available at RRCA.org.

By joining the RRCA in 2026, organizations reaffirm their commitment to RRCA’s vision of Empowering Everyone to Run.
