Membership in LMJS offers a number of benefits for runners. First and foremost are the group running experiences you can have and the people you will meet that share the same interests you do. While many fun runs and other informal activities do not require membership in the club, most of the runners who participate in them are LMJS'ers. A lot of club-oriented relationships evolve out of the informal gatherings and just add to the total running experience here in the East Bay. So we encourage you to become/remain a member of the club to take advantage of our other offerings. Some of the benefits that are available to members include the following:

• Offers regularly scheduled social activities including potlucks with guest speakers, picnics with group runs, training clinics, and team entries at various races.
• T-shirts and other apparel items with the LMJS logo are sold to members for a discounted price.
