England Athletics
Since 2007 Ponteland Runners have been affiliated with England Athletics. As an England Athletics affiliated club, we can better help manage, develop and engage members. These include access to club support services, competition and event licensing, free resources and club programmes. This means our leaders and coaches have DBS Background checks, Leadership in Running Fitness (LiRF) qualifications, and we follow their guidelines and protocols for safe sport. Find full details on the EA website.

Member Benefits
As an England Athletics registered athlete, you'll be part of a nationwide community of athletes and runners whilst also helping us to support your club and the sport we all love. Your registration fee not only benefits the sport as a whole but also gives you access to a range of benefits and services. Registered Athletes can access these via the MyAthletics Portal.
Triathlon England
In 2013 Ponteland Runners affiliated with Triathlon England, part of British Triathlon, as “Ponteland Tri”. This allows all members of Ponteland Runners to enter events ran by BTF ( British Triathlon Federation ) rules as members of “Ponteland Tri”.
In order to provide the necessary insurance benefits for training and racing we would strongly recommend that members join Triathlon England as individual members racing for “Ponteland Tri” which will be listed as a club on the drop-down list when you join. There is a discount available when joining Triathlon England as a club member instead of an individual athlete. Use the link below to go to the Triathlon England website and join.
The insurance benefits, Public Liability Insurance and Personal Accident Insurance are explained on the Triathlon England Website here.
Membership Options
British Triathlon Membership supports you every step of your triathlon journey with comprehensive insurance options, exclusive discounts, top tips and advice. There are options to become a member, or to purchase a race pass. Both are detailed on their dedicated Membership pages.
