As of January 1, 2026, we have moved to RunSignUp!
Transition to RunSignUp FAQ
Why are the Striders switching to RunSignUp?
The simple answer is modernization and simplicity. Currently, the Striders Officers and Board of Directors use multiple platforms to manage membership, race registration, training programs and volunteers. RunSignUp will allow the Board of Directors to carry out their responsibilities from one platform.
The board performed due diligence by interviewing board members from other MD RRCA clubs regarding their experiences with the RunSignUp platform. In light of their positive feedback and marginally lower processing fees relative to Get Me Registered, we are confident in selecting RunSignUp.
How do I establish or claim my account in RunSignUp?
Follow these steps regardless of your membership type (Individual, Student, Family, Hall of Fame, and Lifetime). Most accounts claimed Establish your account in RunSignUp based on one of the scenarios listed below.
Note the following key points:
- Individual/student membership: Primary account holder can only claim accounts for themselves.
- Family membership: The primary account holder will have to claim the membership for themselves AND all members of the family.
- Old or expired memberships can be merged into the primary account or simply do not claim them.
Scenario #1:
If you already have a RunSignUp account AND it is under the same email address as your GetMeRegistered account, you can claim your account by logging into your RSU account and going to “My Profile” then “My Club Memberships.”
Alternatively, you can use this quick claim link (requires you to log into your account): https://runsignup.com/Account/QuickClaimAccounts. Claim and merge all accounts into your primary account.
Scenario #2:
If you are unsure of your email address or have used multiple email addresses in RunSignUp or GetMeRegistered. Use this claim account link and input your email addresses: https://runsignup.com/ClaimAccounts. RSU will send a verification email to each requested email address and provide account information associated with the email address (if any).
Scenario #3:
If you have never used RunSignUp, your first step is to create an account. Select “Create Account” from the Striders membership page: https://runsignup.com/MemberOrg/striders. To simplify the process, try to use the same email address you used in GetMeRegistered account.
Once your account is created, go to “My Profile” then “My Club Memberships” to view your active and expired memberships.

What will happen to my Individual and Family Lifetime membership?
Striders will continue to honor Individual and Family Lifetime memberships.

Going forward, lifetime members will be required to renew annually to ensure their information remains current. This is required for our RRCA dues and insurance obligations.
Family memberships are maintained similar to how they were in GetMeRegistered, with all information stored under the Primary Member’s RunSignup account.
Individual and Family Lifetime members will have until June 30, 2026 to establish their RunSignUp accounts or their “Lifetime” status will be permanently lost. Members will then have to renew at the current membership tiers and prices.
I am in the Striders Hall of Fame. What will happen to my lifetime membership?
