Why does 816 Run Club cost? Or why do you have a membership fee?With the way we set routes with signs, coolers, cups etc we have some real costs associated with the runs. Our goal is to keep this membership fee as minimal as possible - but we need to cover those costs.But, we don't want that fee to get in the way of jumping in, so if you aren't sure yet or for whatever reason you can't make that happen right now, join us anyway!
