The Club Management App Built for Running Clubs
LiveMap, parkrun barcode support, Garmin and Apple Watch apps, GPX routes, and pace calculators — built around how running clubs actually operate.
connectMyClub started as an app for our own running club in Coventry. Other local clubs saw it and wanted something similar. So we opened it up. Everything we've built since has been shaped by what running clubs tell us they actually need — not what we guessed.

Built Around Running Clubs
The tools your club actually needs — on the roads, trails, and tracks
Safety built in to every run
Running clubs train on public roads and trails. connectMyClub has the safety features that genuinely matter when something goes wrong out on a route.
- LiveMap — members share their live location during training sessions. Group leaders see exactly where everyone is in real time — invaluable on long runs, multi-pace sessions, or routes spread across a wide area.
- ICE & Medical Details — group leaders access a member's emergency contact and medical notes at the press of a button, and call directly from the app.
- Accident & Incident Reports — submit a full report from the scene, with photos, precise what3words location, and automatically retrieved weather data — everything needed for insurance or governing-body reporting.
- ActiveSafe — members can anonymously report harassment experienced whilst running in public spaces. Reports are shared with local clubs to raise community awareness.

The tools runners actually use
Runners live on Garmin, Strava, and parkrun. connectMyClub works alongside all of them, so your members get more out of the kit they already have.
- 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, with a link to their personal results page.
- Garmin & Apple Watch apps — native watch apps give members their training session, sign-up, live location, and parkrun barcode directly from their wrist — no phone needed.
- Strava & Garmin race results — when a member finishes a race, their finish time is retrieved automatically and feeds into club results, season's bests, and personal bests. No manual entry.
- GPX Route Library — clubs build a library of training routes. Members view them on an in-app map and sync any route to their Garmin with one tap.
- Pace Calculator — members enter their race pace and get predicted finish times across all distances — useful for race planning and goal setting.

Training sessions, sorted
From weekly track nights to long Sunday runs, connectMyClub makes it easy to manage sessions, groups, and attendance without a spreadsheet in sight.
- Training Groups & Session Management — members sign up to a specific group within a session — Fast, Intermediate, Social, or whatever groups your club runs. Group access can be restricted by membership category, gender, or age. Each group has its own leader, capacity limit, and waiting list; when a place opens up the next person is notified automatically. A configurable tap-out cutoff prevents last-minute withdrawals.
- Attendance Register & Training History — leaders mark members as arrived by QR scan or name search, so latecomers who didn't pre-sign-up can be added on the spot. The full register feeds into a club-wide training history: track attendance trends, see which groups are most popular, and identify members whose attendance has changed.
- Digital Disclaimers — require members to digitally sign a disclaimer before joining a training group. UK Athletics code of conduct is built in and can be applied in a single click.
- Training Wallet — if your training sessions charge a participation fee, members top up their wallet in the app and the fee is deducted automatically when they sign up. Direct debits keep their wallet topped up.

Club admin that actually saves time
Membership renewals, communications, a club website, and junior safeguarding — all in one place, so committee members spend less time on admin and more time running.
- Membership & Renewals — online membership forms, automated renewal reminders, and full membership management without a separate spreadsheet.
- Communications — group messaging, newsletters, and targeted emails to sub-groups within the club. Members control how they're contacted.
- Club Emails — write and send emails to the whole club or any targeted sub-group: seniors, juniors (automatically routed to guardian email addresses for safeguarding), or filtered by gender. Bespoke comms groups let clubs build any mailing list they need. Events requiring volunteers automatically generate their own comms group — no manual list building required.
- Member Alerts — clubs send push notifications directly to members' phones for time-sensitive information: training cancellations, session changes, and urgent announcements. Alerts also fire automatically for new message board posts, incoming direct messages, and group chat activity.
- Club Race Timing & Results — a full timing and results system for club events — time trials, cross-country races, handicap series. The timer starts the event stopwatch in the app; finishers tap to record their position and finish time. Physical tokens generated by the system are matched to each finisher's QR code — on their Garmin or Apple Watch, in the app, or printed. A single scan from any scanner uploads all results to the club portal. Results are editable before confirmation, then emailed to each participant individually or as a full results list.
- National Race Database — members search for upcoming UK races directly in the app. Tap to add a found race to their calendar — or submit event details via the in-app form if it's not in the database yet. Events are verified by the connectMyClub team, who add the official website and a precise what3words start location. Once verified, each event is available to all connectMyClub users across the UK.
- Club Race League — clubs choose which distances count toward their internal race league (e.g. 5k, 10k, 10 miles, half marathon, marathon). Finish times from the app, Strava, or Garmin feed into the table automatically, with points awarded based on finishing positions among club members. The full table downloads as an Excel file for clubs to format and distribute as they wish.
- Free Club Website — every club gets a free website powered by connectMyClub. Sessions, events, news, and photos entered once appear automatically on the website.
- Junior Safeguarding — eight independent safeguarding switches give granular control over what junior members can see and do. Includes a DBS-check gate for adult-to-junior messaging. All default to off.
