Sign-ups, check-ins and memberships for running clubs

A newcomer signs up for one run and pays before they show up. They check in when they arrive. Keep coming back and they'll get offered your membership when it's cheaper for them. You just run the club.

Runs, runners and money in one place

ForActive handles the group runs, the members and the money that goes with both, so the person running the club has one place to look, not five.

1

New runners sign up for one run.

Publish your weekly runs. A first-timer picks a run, pays for a drop-in and shows up. No membership form first, no Venmo in the parking lot. Your regulars sign up the same way, so you see who's in before you get there.

  • Single-run sign-up
  • One-time drop-ins
  • Memberships and packages alongside single runs

You know who actually came.

Runners check in with a QR code when they arrive. No app yet? Scanning the same code at check-in sets them up. Every check-in lands on that runner's attendance history, so you can see who's done the long run three Saturdays straight. No clipboard, no group-chat headcount.

Drop-ins turn into members on their own.

When a runner goes to pay for another drop-in and one of your memberships or packages would cost them less per run, the app offers it to them right there, so you don't have to make the ask. Only sell drop-ins? Once runners keep coming back, we'll suggest a 4-, 8- or 12-run package for you to add. That's the "you should really just join" conversation, handled.

  • 4-, 8- or 12-run package suggestions
  • Recurring membership payments, automated

FAQ

Coach, get to know ForActive

Yes. They sign up for one run and pay for a drop-in. No membership needed to try you out.

Yes, but nobody has to hunt for it. A runner scans your QR code at check-in and the app takes it from there; they're set up on the spot.

No. Start there. Once runners keep buying drop-ins, ForActive suggests a 4-, 8- or 12-run package for you to add to your offer.

No. When a runner goes to pay for a drop-in and one of your memberships or packages would cost them less per run, the app offers it to them at checkout.

Fine. There's a cash option, so a runner who pays cash gets recorded like everyone else: same list, same attendance history.

Yes: membership dues, program fees, recurring programs and event payments, in one place.

ForActive is free to start and stays free in any calendar month your club takes in less than $1,000. Every feature at no extra cost: QR check-in, memberships, packages. Over $1,000 in a calendar month, it's a flat $30 that month.

No contracts. Stop any time, no penalties. Your data belongs to the club and stays yours: your members, your attendance history. What stops is the features, not the list.

Yes. That's the everyday case: the parent signs up and pays, the kid runs.

A real person. Support is a human who answers.

Yes. ForActive uses Stripe to process every payment.

Show up and run. We'll handle the sign-ups, the check-ins and the money.

Get the app, publish your first run, send the link to your runners. You're live.
