Everything Your Club Needs
Comprehensive tools to connect with and inform your club members and to organise your club.
Built by club members, for club members — connectMyClub started as an app for our own running club. Other clubs wanted it. So we opened it up.
All features are available to the club with a simple annual subscription for the equivalent of only £1 per club member per year.
Does your club have fewer than 50 members? We've got you covered, you can enjoy all features for free.

Announcements
Clubs send push notifications directly to members' phones for time-sensitive information — training cancellations, session changes, and urgent announcements. Alerts also fire automatically when new message board posts are made, and for incoming direct messages and group chat activity, so members are always in the loop even when they're not actively using the app.
Attachments
Manage attachments for emails sent to club members.
Comms Groups
Create and manage communication groups to send targeted messages to specific sets of club members.
Emails
Write and send emails to the whole club or any targeted sub-group: seniors, juniors (automatically routed to guardian email addresses rather than the junior directly), or filtered by gender. Bespoke comms groups let clubs build any mailing list they need — for a specific squad, a volunteer team, or any other subset of members. Club and team events that require volunteers automatically generate their own comms group, so you can email just the people involved with no manual list building.
News
Create and manage news stories to keep club members informed about the latest updates and events.
Newsletter
Create, edit, and send newsletters to club members to keep them updated on club news and events.
Reminders
Create and manage reminders that will be appear to club members in the connectMyClub app and newsletter.
ActiveSafe
Club members can anonymously report incidents of public harassment, infrastructure problems, and positive experiences encountered whilst training in public spaces. Reports are shared anonymously with local clubs via the club portal to raise community awareness. Find out more about our safety features →
Organise
Affiliated Clubs
View the list of clubs affiliated to your association.
Membership Expiry Upload
Upload the membership spreadsheet to update every affiliated club's members.
Reports
Sessions, attendance, membership and compliance figures across your affiliated clubs, for funding evidence.
Members
Manage the list of club members, highlight the member of the month, and monitor member activity within the club.
Club Challenges
Create a challenge (distance/activity target, date window, optional route and entry fee), invite other clubs by code, and let members join and track their progress in the app - including people whose own club isn't on connectMyClub.
Club Events
Plan and manage all aspects of club events, including public races, local race leagues, and exclusive club member events.
Event Timing & Results
A complete race timing and results system for club events — time trials, cross-country races, and handicap series. The timer starts the event stopwatch in the app; each time a finisher crosses the line they tap to record their position and finish time. Physical tokens generated by the system are distributed to finishers; scanners then match each token to the finisher's QR code — visible on their Garmin or Apple Watch, in the app, or on a printed card for those who prefer it. When everyone is finished, scanners scan the timer's QR code to upload all results directly to the club portal in one go. Results are editable on the portal before confirmation, then emailed to every participant individually or as a full results list to all involved.
Handicapper
Generate and manage race handicaps for club events to ensure fair competition.
Member Forms
Create custom forms to collect information from members, with optional core-profile fields, third-party sharing disclosure, and controlled response access.
My 2026
Configure and customise the elements that appear in the My Year section of the app for club members.
Personal & Years's Bests
View and manage members' personal bests and years's bests to track their progress and achievements.
Race League & Club Champs
Clubs choose which race distances count toward their internal race league — for example 5k, 10k, 10 miles, half marathon, and marathon. Create a club championship containing all relevant races. When members log finish times in the app, or times are retrieved automatically via Strava or Garmin, results feed into the club league table with points awarded based on finishing positions among club members. The full table is downloadable as an Excel file for clubs to format and distribute as they wish.
Routes
Create and manage routes for sessions and events.
Surveys
Create and manage surveys, votes, and polls to gather feedback and opinions from club members.
Team Events
Organise and manage teams for club events, such as Men's and Ladies' cross-country teams.
Volunteers
Organise and manage volunteers for club events to ensure smooth operations.
Our Season — Club Year in Review
An automatic end-of-year recap for the committee, with nothing to set up. See total sessions, attendance, new members, records broken, and Inter-Club Challenge results for the year, and download a branded image to share at the AGM or on social media.
Membership Waiting List
Full club? Switch on a public waiting list form and anyone can apply with a few details. Under 18s are asked for a parent or guardian's details. Applicants get a confirmation email, the club is notified, and the club portal lists everyone who has applied, ready to remove or download as a spreadsheet.
Online Club Meetings
Add a Google Meet to a club calendar event, such as a coach presentation or a committee meeting, and members who have signed up join with one tap from the app. Meetings are for senior members only, and the link appears shortly before the event starts.
Membership Numbers & parkrun Numbers
Bulk upload of club membership numbers and members' parkrun numbers directly to member profiles via spreadsheet.
Training
Training Sessions
Set up recurring or one-off training sessions with multiple training groups per session. Use templates to speed up setup. Members sign up directly from the app, and group leaders manage their own groups independently.
Booking Window
Show members sessions several weeks ahead, but only let them sign up a set number of days before each session starts. Popular sessions stay fair, because everyone gets the same chance to book at the same moment. Group leaders can still book early into the groups they lead.
Training Wallet & Subscriptions
If a training group has a participation fee, members can top up their training wallet in the app and the fee is deducted automatically when they sign up. Members can also set up a subscription — essentially a direct debit — so they're always covered.
LiveMap — Real-Time Location Sharing
Once tapped into a training group, members can share their live location with the group on an interactive map. Group leaders see exactly where everyone is in real time — invaluable for long runs, trail sessions, or rep workouts spread across a large area.
ICE & Medical Details
Clubs can require members to set up their In Case of Emergency contact details before participating in training. Group leaders can access these at the press of a button and call the contact directly from the app. Members can also record medical notes for group leaders to access during a session.
GPX Route Library
Clubs can build a library of training routes by uploading GPX files. Members can view routes on an in-app map, and with one tap sync the route directly to their Garmin watch or download the GPX file.
Training Accident & Incident Reports
Group leaders can submit a full accident or incident report from their phone at the scene. Reports include photos, incident description, precise what3words location, and automatically retrieved weather data for the time and location — everything needed for insurance purposes.
Disclaimers
Clubs can require members to digitally sign disclaimers before joining specific training groups. Automatically integrates UK Athletics, British Triathlon, and British Cycling codes of conduct when selected.
Training Plan Generator (Premium add-on)
Generate a personalised, structured training plan in seconds — Couch to 5k, 5 mile, 10k, half marathon, or marathon — tailored to plan length, sessions per week, target pace, and goal time. Enrol members directly, and both club and member track progress week by week as sessions are completed.
Member App
Strava & Garmin Integration
Members can link their Strava and Garmin accounts to connectMyClub. When they finish a race, their finish time is retrieved automatically — no manual entry needed. Times feed directly into club results, season's bests, and personal bests.
parkrun Barcode & Finder
Members save their parkrun athlete number to display the barcode on their phone, Garmin, or Apple Watch. A built-in directory of every parkrun in the world helps members find their nearest event by location, with a direct link to their personal results page on the parkrun website.
Pace Calculator
Members enter their race pace and the app generates a full list of predicted finish times across all race distances — a handy tool for race planning and goal setting.
Linked Accounts — Guardian-linked Accounts
Members can set up Linked Account permissions to manage multiple profiles from a single login — particularly useful for parents managing their children's club membership. Switch between profiles without logging out.
GDPR & Communication Controls
Members have full control over their communication preferences directly within the app — toggling on or off whether the club can contact them by email, SMS, or use their photos. Members can also view the last 10 emails sent to them by the club.
Direct Messaging & Group Chats
Real-time direct messaging between club members, plus group chats for comms groups — WhatsApp-style with image sharing, powered by sockets. Members can disable DMs in their settings if they prefer not to be contacted. All messaging features are disabled by default for junior members.
Message Board
A club-wide message board for members to share short posts and photos — perfect for arranging car shares to races, finding someone to take over a race entry, or informal club chat.
My Season
Every member gets their own year in review in the app: sessions joined, weeks in a row, races, personal bests, and club records broken, shown month by month. Members can save a shareable image card of their season. Share images are not available for junior members.
Digital Membership Card
After completing their membership and paying their subscription, members receive a digital membership card within the app — always to hand when they need it.
Meet the Club
Members can view their clubmates, committee members, welfare team, and training leaders — each with a profile, avatar, social media links, and Strava profile where added.
Companion Watch Apps
Garmin Watch App
A native Garmin companion app gives members access to connectMyClub features directly from their wrist. Includes training session details, meeting point, group sign-up, live location sharing, QR code for tapping into sessions, and parkrun barcode — all without reaching for their phone.
Apple Watch App
A native Apple Watch companion app brings the same key connectMyClub features to Apple Watch users — training details, QR code, parkrun barcode, and live location sharing. Seamlessly integrated with the connectMyClub iOS app.
