Frequently Asked Questions
How does the CapitalTrails CLUB membership process work?
Once you fill up the CapitalTrails CLUB membership form, you'll be sent an email with instructions on how to pay the membership fee. Upon receiving payment, we'll update your membership tier within 72 hours.
You will also be added to the CapitalTrails CLUB Members group on WhatsApp, which is exclusive to members of CapitalTrails CLUB, where you can interact and network with other like-minded trail runners and outdoor enthusiasts from NCR and around.
CapitalTrails Club membership is valid for 12 months (1 year) from the membership start date.
Why is membership not free like other running clubs?
We are not 'just another' running club that meets on weekends. We are building a community of active members who not only run with us, but are also engaged in various educational, technical, outreach and outdoors endeavours. A significant chunk of our collections go as contributions to local grassroots organisations and initiatives. The remaining is used for maintaining the website and online presence, social media and other marketing activities, and minor operational expenses.
That said, you can join the CapitalTrails Community for free and pay as you go with our regular events and activities. You'll still get access to the CapitalTrails Community on WhatsApp where you can engage with fellow trail runners and outdoors enthusiasts.
Are there any other membership benefits?
Yes. Starting from 2025, CapitalTrails CLUB members get free access to all our on-ground and online events. CapitalTrails CLUB members will also get discounted prices for CapitalTrails Race Series and (soon to be launched) partnered events. Further, CapitalTrails CLUB members will get exclusive access to community discussions, the opportunity to become a part of the team driving CapitalTrails, more ownership of/in CapitalTrails, and much more.
How do you ensure safety on trails?
The trails are generally safe. We have systems in place that will ensure your safety at all times.
We appoint marshalls for all variants for our activities to ensure that the group is in sight. Further, we strictly ensure that none of our women members are left alone or out of sight on the trail. We also conduct a pre-activity briefing where we go over all wayfinding, security and emergency protocols.
We're trying to make trails safer and more inclusive and accessible to everyone, and we take this mission extremely seriously.
What if I get hurt or injured?
Our members are equipped and certified in administering Wilderness First Aid (WFA) and are always ready with evacuation protocols and procedures in case of any wilderness emergency. Further, detailed instructions are sent to members before any event with information on safety, emergency response and available medical facilities.
What if I get lost while out with you?
We run everyone through app-based and self-oriented navigation procedures before each activity (run, race, collaboration etc.). At the same time, anyone who has got lost on the trails with us has emerged an enriched human :)
Can I 'try you out' or join a group run without joining the club?
CapitalTrails CLUB membership does not offer a trial. However, if you register on the website, you'll receive a Welcome coupon which you can redeem against any one Monthly Outdoor Meet activity.
What if I'm not fit to complete the activity?
We are inclusive to walkers, hikers and other non-running folks, and want them to experience the NCR outdoors! There's no such thing as 'not fit enough' - if you can walk continuously for 30 minutes, you can complete the Walk category.
Are their discounts available on the CapitalTrails CLUB membership fee?
We are currently not offering discounts on the CapitalTrails CLUB membership fee. In order to operate CapitalTrails professionally, and to align with our scale-up goals and annual contribution targets, general discounts are not feasible.
However, we have always made exceptions for students, minors, members with injuries, disabilities or financial constraints, and we will continue to do so. If you genuinely feel you're entitled to a discounted membership, drop us a line on info@capitaltrails.in and we'll work out the best plan for you.
Can I stay on as a non-paying member?
While we don't have a 'free' membership tier, you are always welcome to join our community and be involved in community initiatives. All you need to do for that is just sign up on this website, which will give you access to the CapitalTrails Community on WhatsApp. You will also get a Welcome coupon, which you can redeem towards any one Monthly Outdoor Meet activity. Further, as part of the community, you can engage with other community members over discussions, events, training plans, race strategies, outdoor education and much more.
