Membership
In 2023, we started charging yearly membership dues of $55 to cover our operating costs, such as coaching and our annual Pride Meet. However, new members can come to 3 free practices before committing to a membership.
The Club is a member of Team San Francisco, the blanket sports organization for San Francisco teams competing at the Gay Games. There is a separate fee for participating in the Gay Games, if you wish to do so. Additionally, if you choose to participate in USA Track & Field (USATF) sanctioned meets (the National Governing Body for track and field), individuals are encouraged to become members of USATF. Visit USATF Pacific Association website for membership.
