It's Time to Renew Your Membership!
Dear CTC Member:
On behalf of the board of the Charlottesville Track Club, I hope that you personally had a great year of running! Your support for the CTC, both through your dues and your participation has made it a great year for the running community in the Charlottesville area. Some quick highlights include:
- The CTC sponsored or co-sponsored over 25 different running events in 2008
- Over 9,000 runners participated in these events (running over 45,000 miles!)
- The CTC oversaw training programs for the Charlottesville Ten Miler, the Marathon/Half Marathon Training Program, and the Women's Four Miler Training Program that helped over 2,000 local runners prepare for their races.
- Over $500,000 was raised for various charities through your efforts.
- The CTC provided eight $1,000 scholarships to worthy local high school students.
Your CTC Board is in the process of re-vamping much of how the CTC does its 'business'. Much of this includes moving many aspects of the Club on-line. Changes that you will notice include:
- CTC membership renewal is available online for the first time via our website. You can pay online by credit card or mail in a check.
- "Running Shorts" (CTC's newsletter) will only be delivered via e-mail. It will also be available for downloading from our website (along with back copies)
- Many of our races and training program registrations are available on our website.
- Planned re-writing of our bylaws along with better budging/finances oversight
Our goal this year is to engage more members of the local community to take up running, not just for racing, but to make it part of their regular healthy lifestyle. We are always searching for new ways to serve you, our members. We hope that you will renew your membership to the CTC online. Help keep us running in 2009!
Please note that the CTC Board approved new membership fees and structure starting with this year. This included defining "Student" (full time student, under the age of 23) and "Family" (up to two adults and all kids under the age of 18) memberships. We have also added a "Senior" category.
2009/2010 Dues structure:

*If you are creating a family membership online, you will need to first create a group registration using your family name. You will then be able to add family members.
