Every pace group, every week, without the spreadsheet

The admin behind a Tuesday night

A running club looks simple from the outside. One night, one meeting point, everyone runs. Then you look at what the committee actually does: three or four pace groups each needing a leader and a sensible ratio, a register so you know everyone who went out came back, a beginners course running as a fixed cohort, affiliation numbers to keep current, and a championship table someone updates by hand.

ClubPal handles the repeating shape of that. Set up your club night once as a recurring session, give each pace group its own capacity so no leader ends up with twenty runners, and let members book the group that suits them. The register is on a phone at the meeting point, which matters more in January than it does in June.

Beginner courses work as their own thing. Sell a fixed-length course as a pass, cap the intake, and let the group book the whole block in one go rather than week by week.
