MEMBERSHIP So you want to be a Wisconsin Track Club Cow? There are a few steps to take before you can come to practice and travel to meets with us. Rec Sports requires that all students wishing to travel with WTC have to be signed up and approved through the IMLeague system that they use to keep track of the comings and goings of the clubs.
Note: The database resets each summer, so you must fill out the forms as well as reapply to become an authorized driver again each fall.
How to become a Cow:
Activate your IMLeagues account. You can find the IMLeagues portal in the top right-hand corner of the UW Madison Recreation & Wellbeing website. Use your NetID to log in and answer the questions. Request to join the roster. You can find all clubs on the Sports Club homepage of IMLeagues. There is a button, Sports Clubs, in the top left-hand corner next to Intramural Sports. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Join under the Track team option. Your request will be approved.
Besides the email list, our two primary forms of communication are our two Facebook Groups: The Wisconsin Track Club group is used for club announcements, such as meet sign-up deadlines, social event details, and more. It is a private group, so request to join and you should likely be approved within a few hours. The WTC Herd FinderTM group is used to find running buddies. Your teammates post what time they will be running if it isn’t the usual practice time, and you can almost always find at least one other person to run with this way. This page is also the place to discuss weekend run meeting locations and times. Herd finder will not operate as normal due to COVID 19, but is still a great way to communicate with and get to know fellow cows

Great! Now that you are all signed up, we hope to see you at practice! Practice guidelines have been approved. You can then sign up for a practice. At practice, you will have to wear a mask and respect social distancing as best as you can. Also, please sanitize your hands before and after coming to practice. Our groups at practice will be limited; We will have two groups of 25 which will then split up into smaller groups of 4.
Please do not gather in running groups on your own, unless they are a roommate. We all have to do our part to limit the spread of COVID.
