Running Club Session Register

Running club register for one session — each runner, their pace group, whether an emergency contact is on file, and a tick out and a tick back.

First page of the Running Club Session Register — Know exactly who went out on the route and confirm every one of them came back, with a record of guests and first-timers the club can chase for membership.

What this sheet is for

Know exactly who went out on the route and confirm every one of them came back, with a record of guests and first-timers the club can chase for membership.

Who it is for

Run leaders, club secretaries and welfare officers at running clubs, track sessions and parkrun-style groups that meet and go out together.

How to use it

  1. Write the route, meeting point and leader at the top before anyone arrives.
  2. Take a line for every runner as they arrive, guests and first-timers included, and tick out.
  3. Tick each runner back as they return; anyone who left the route early is noted in the last column.
  4. Fill in the totals so the count out matches the count back.
  5. Write anything to follow up before next week in the incidents line.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: One club run or track session — who turned up, which pace group they went out with, and that they came back, so nobody is left on a route in the dark.

Write-on lines: Club · Date · Session / route · Meet at · Run leader

Runners — one line per person, guests and first-timers included — count everyone out by group and count them back in

Table, 16 rows: Name · Member? · Group / pace · Contact held? · Out · Back · Distance · Notes

Write-on lines: Total out · Total back · Groups led by · Incidents / follow up before next week

Questions

Why does the sheet ask whether a contact is on file rather than for the contact?

Because a register that sits on a car bonnet in the dark is no place for phone numbers. The tick tells the leader that the club already holds an emergency contact for that runner; if it is blank, take one before they go out.

Do I need to record the distance?

Only if your club wants it. It is a blank for your own figure — useful for a group that logs training, ignorable for a social run.
