Membership
You’re on your way to running with Valor!
Who we want: Passionate runners and track and field athletes enthusiastic about representing our name and being a part of a team. Valor athletes have kind and competitive hearts.
Who can join: Youth through masters athletes in and around the Maine region from beginner to elite.
What are our priorities: Family, mental health, living by the golden rule. This is a team of people who care about each other and community. If running is your one and only priority we may be concerned but we are here for you!
What does it cost: Current membership price is $155/year
What does a membership include: Race singlet and extra gear like a hat or training T-shirt as budget allows plus access to our Valor team store. 1-2 practices per week (we move to the USM indoor track during the winter for our midweek meet up) and tons of local and brand name partner perks listed below! We also have a growing relationship with ON Running and ON occasion our rep treats our athletes to free training shoes! It is not guaranteed that everyone gets a shoe and those with sub elite and elite marks or those who place top 8 for us at club cross country nationals will receive more shoes and gear.
Additionally, you have total access to Head Coach Paige Mills, for training advice, life coaching/mentorship and support as she provides this platform on the road to your success and is here to advocate for opportunities to help you reach your goals. As a grassroots program, member dues are integral in supporting our system as a whole. There are many expenses behind an operation like ours and dues do not even scratch the surface. The big one for us is our yearly cross country nationals trip where we cover housing, food and even travel for our top teams. We have a lot of fun fundraising to help offset costs and are thankful to our incredible sponsors for their part in making this all possible.
The best member perk though is that you are welcomed into a team that is there to uplift you and help you crush your goals!
What are the requirements: Being a positive and supportive teammate and living a life of gratitude. Other than that there are no firm requirements or time standards to be on the team. We understand clubs are made up of real people, with real life priorities and obligations so we strive to maintain an inclusive and uplifting environment to bring extra value and community into your life.
Ambassador program: Since day 1 we have been happy to work with people who need some financial assistance or a due waiver so please email paige@valortcportland.com with inquiries!
