So if this is a real albeit virtual running club, are we un/officially affiliated with whoever it is we need to be, so we can tick the 'Affiliated' box on entry forms and save a few beer tokens ? Cheap, or what ?
Point of etiquette : How should one pronounce 'URWFRC' in polite company, as it sounds like something one utters when one's hamstring shreds ...

to answer wizard's question, I just tell friends that is a virtual club and dont bore them with the name(cos to be honest I dont spose they give two hoots what its called-but I think it is pronounced:-
ERRUWOFORUKU
Alternatively, be brave and talk to other runners. Just because you join a club doesn't mean you have to run the "Hairy arsed old blokes grizzly cross country around the back of beyond 10k" every Saturday. You are allowed just to train with them without ever competing and it will improve your running. And it's nioce to have some company on these cold dark evenings. And they drink beer. And they might give you a club FLM place.
I have done this as at least one other. There is a thread in Events called DARTFORD 10 in which KIP (race organisor) comments on this and is also keeping a track for us of all entrants.
See you at Dartford (hopefully with my URWFRC kit...
