Membership Fees
Laurel Creek Track and Field Club fees depend on the category of membership. Currently, the yearly membership fees
vary between $375 and $850. Single-season plans are also available. Membership fees can be paid in one amount, but an
installment payment scheme (for full year memberships) is also available. Athletes starting in the fall may purchase a fall
training membership until the costs for the following year are due in January. Athletes starting at other points in the year
can negotiate a trial period with their coach, after which time the membership fees are payable. Membership fees
generally cover the following:
- Entry fees to competitions
- Transportation to some meets
- Subsidized accommodation to overnight meets
- Subsidized airfare to National Championships (for athletes who have met appropriate standards)
There is also an annual membership fee that must be paid to Athletics Ontario. This includes an online magazine
subscription for the athlete, and covers insurance costs for AO competitions. It ranges from $15-$115 per athlete,
depending on the age and type of membership.

- Assistance in securing athletic scholarships

Fund Raising
Laurel Creek Track & Field Club strives to keep membership fees as low as possible. In order to do so, the Club
undertakes several fund raising initiatives each year. These initiatives include assistance at four major road races (the
Oktoberfest 10km & 5km Run, Waterloo 10km Classic Road Race , Re-Fridgee-Eighter Road Race and the Kitchener
Downtown Mudpuppy Chase,) as well as annual coupon and coffee-selling drives. All members of the Club are expected
to take part in these efforts, as these represent the Club's main source of income.
