Thank you for your interest in joining Orange Runners Club. To participate in the weekly (Wednesday and/or Sunday runs) you must be a paid member.
Orange Runners Club runs are electronically timed (except for the trail runs), using a state-of-the-art timing system. In order for your race times to be recorded you will need to purchase a timing chip ($15) which is attached to your ankle via a velcro strap. Your timing chip is your individual identifier.
